hello
i was wondering if there is any way to make a animated mirror in AS9 or do you have to animate that by itself
for example: i want my character to reflect of a river but i don't wanna make a new reversed character for it... or is that the only way?

(not my image by the way)

Animate your character. Once you have the final version, duplicate it and put in the place you want as reflex.
PD: Maybe you would want to create a new group layer and put the duplicated character inside it. Then flip, move and scale the group (instead of the duplicated character layer). That way you could replace the duplicated character anytime you want.

Hello,
...or add the mirror effect later. Sqirlz can ad mirror effects, rain or snow to a video. It's a freeware program - a little bit outdated but it works

You will find it here

this is a good method that i had in mind already but i was looking for other methods and i must say the sqirtlz water reflection looks really good... i might first test that out and then if that fails i will use this method... thank you
