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
