This was my 1st attempt at a wave using internal graphics in ActionScript. Note: The wake shows up properly, but I couldn't get the surfboard graphic to appear in the proper place. Weird. Click in the window below to control the surfboard.

Surfing, take 2. Ok, now its time to use images for the wave parts and surfer. Now everything lines up as it should. This one uses masks to control the visible parts of the wave. Click in the window below to control the surfer's position.

Surfing, take 3. I had always wanted to make an "In-the_Tube" version of my surfing game. Thank you Flash! This one makes use of the rotation aspect of MovieClips. Click in the window below to control the surfer. Note: keep the cursor near the left edge to get deep inside the tube.

What's next? Well adding more realistic control and a more consistent water color on the face on and in the tube versions and the ability to flip views based on how deep you are inside the tube. Then comes scoring and final version. -SAB
