I've been exploring the possibilities to make moving water in AS, and also making streetlights with lights off/on controlled with actions, this is what I've come up with so far.
I think I have to explore actions a lot more, it seems to have a lot of power if you use it right, as Heyvern, Genete and some others at the forum has pointed out.

Hey- that's really fantastic water! And, well- I want to use the same technique in my animation. I'm trying to pick apart your anme file- but I don't think the water ripples png is imported correctly. Could you post that png for me so I can see what it's supposed to look like?? :)

I'm working on a cruise ship scene where the ship is "dancing" to music- that water would look really cool in it.

Thanks ulrik! Here's what I managed to come up with:

I added a little depth by making each set of waves a bit bigger the closer they are. This is definately THE method to use to make waves in AS!

Hahaha..I love the boat bounce and the water look just great, the depth adding was clever! :D

I had to watch the animation several times before noticing that you used a surprising number of subtle effects. The artwork has a clean relaxing style about it too. Thanks for sharing the file.

That's pretty cool! I like the transition over to night, with the lights and all. ;)

Thank you J. Baker and DarthFurby! :D

I have a question concerning transitions from daylight to night, in this I'm using a black filled vector with the "overlay" blend mode, it's going from 0-100 opacity but it never gets real dark, I've tried using two copies of the overlay vector but I don't like the result, what do you think is the best way to go from light to dark when you have 20-30 layers to cover?

I usually use Multiply on night scenes.
