Underwater could be done with displacement masks / perlin noise. Haven't done personally, but grant skinner had an amazing example at fitc so try googling for that. Also, check his experiments site and maybe hit his blog for some source.
http://galleryincomplet.com http://gskinner.com/blog As for mapping to cylinder, I have been trying to get a similarly difficult skew to work. The perspective skew. Where the front of the image is taller than the rear. If I get some time I will try to write something up, but I suspect someone has already done it. The trouble is trying to alias neighboring pixels without killing the quality of the image.. A simple cylinder may be easy, with the bitmap data class. You would basically want to loop through the rows (horizontal cylinder) or columns (vertical cylinder) of pixels and dup that to a 1xrowcount bitmap data object and add it an onstage one, perhaps with varying alpha to depth.
