I’ve been having fun playing with simulated fire, smoke, and now a water reflection effect in Flex. Here’s a screenshot. Click the screenshot, or this link, to view the effect live. I’m not putting the live swf directly here on the page because my blog’s already got a few fire effects playing, and this one’s particularly CPU intensive since it’s got 3 different effects running at once (and not only that, but the live reflection water component reflects the live fire and smoke effects).

Is that coded in Flex or Flash?
Was hoping for some Flex Right Click View Source

It’s a Flex component written in Actionscript 3. I’ll be releasing the source in not too long. I was too busy having fun being hypnotized by the effects, I haven’t had time to clean up the code so it’s presentable. But I’m planning on rolling the fire and water effect components into FlexLib.

Very nice Doug! I am finding your blogs and posts to be outstanding. Read the dummies book to get myself started and I frequently pop in to see what else you have going on. Keep it up buddy. I love the Flex community!
