Any Flash programmers?

Seen this site (http://www.catcha.com)? Click on the big Catcha logo to view the Flash intro. What I'd like to know is how they did the "quake" effect at the end of the intro. Anyone knows how it's done?

Thanx!

i know! but i have to look this up. You know how to work with html/java-script and flash? The shaking is done with java-script and it's quite simple. I'll look this up and give you the answer tomorrow!

oofie, nice game that is, it reminds me of a game i used to play when I was 8 or something... It was in CGA colors, and the idea was the same as yours... You know what it was called?

I wonder if you are referring to the game Tapper, where you're on the serving end and have to serve beer to impatient customers, who then pass the empty glasses back at you and you have to catch those empty glasses. Sometimes you can pick up money and that will start a bunch of dancing ladies to keep some of the customers busy.

Well, I used to play that game a lot!

Yeah I think its javascript. The method is:

window.moveBy(intX, intY)

and it moves the window X pixels horizontally, and Y pixels vertically. The direction depends on whether you enter positive or negative values.

Adrian, I guess that's the one. If you know where to get that game, I'd be thrilled

It's javascript for sure (SEE BELOW) ... if you go to javascript.internet.com (where they snagged it from btw) they probably tell you how to encorporate it into the flash movie to call upon the actual movement sequence ...
