Written by AnaS   

In this tutorial we’ll learn how to create a cool water text effect for Adobe Flash 8 using Mask and Motion Tween.

Make a new Flash document with the following properties: Size 550x400 pixels, Background #000066.

Now import a water picture having 550x150 dimensions or use the one below using File >> Import >> Import to Stage or CTRL+R:

Assure that the picture has the coordinates X:0, Y:0. Now copy again this picture on the stage and put to the copy the coordinates X:550, Y:0.

Select the two picture and press CTRL+G to group them.

Now let’s create a motion tween for the water! Go to the frame 100 of the first layer and press F6 to introduce a new keyframe. Go on top of the frames between 1 and 100, right click and choose Create Motion Tween.

In the frame 100 set the coordinates of the picture to X:-550, Y:0

Now insert a new layer and name it water. Right click on water layer and choose Mask.

In the first frame of water layer insert a text field with some text in it like “Tutorial5” with the following properties:

Font: Impact, size 125.

Now test the movie CTRL+Enter and see the result:
