you could just use a bitmap distortion effect and draw the bars and numbers on the bitmap to make it easier on the code - though the quality of the numbers/bars may degrade as it distorts it.

if you go for that solution, it would be very fast to code, just have the X position of the distortion gradient follow the mouses and voila, your done.

Hi there, I want to achieve the effect of seamless magnification a bit like the Mac OS dock but rather than having individual icons magnified I want to have a seamless magnification kind of like a blob as in this image:

I think I could achieve this effect by using an onEnterFrame event and having an outline created by a moving circle with curves that are continually updated and the lines and numbers of the thermometer that scale according to mouse position but I'm not sure how to achieve the gradients on the glass.

Is there an easier way of doing this?

Thanks
Ali
