HERE IS A SIMPLE PIC TO WORK WITH--(USE ANY PIC YOU LIKE)---BRING IT UP ON SQIRLZ
AND AS I`VE DONE SEE----USING THE LASSOO ---- MARK OFF ONLY THE WATER



go to the "Y ICON"---(MARKED IN PURPLE ABOVE) CLICK ON IT---THIS IS WHAT YOU`LL GET--



CLICK ON THE RIPPLES ONLY DOT.....THEN CLICK OK

NOW CLICK ON THE RIPPLES ICON (MARKED GREEN ABOVE)

CLICK ON IT------NOW THESE ARE THE SETTINGS I USED FOR THE RIPPLES ONLY--


WITH THE SETTINGS ARRANGED----LOOK TOP RIGHT OF THE SQIRLZ SCREEN---CLICK ON "AVI"----GIVE IT A NAME...SAY PIC X--AND SAVE

YOU`LL NOW SEE THE COMMPRESSOR LITTLE WINDOW CLICK ON OK
THEN CLICK ON THE RESULTING BLUE ARROW --AND I CHOSE "MICROSOFT VIDIEO 1 "--WHEN THIS IS DONE--

GO UP TO FILES --TOP LEFT----CLICK ON IT THEN IN THE DROPDOWN CLICK ON "CLOSE"-------------YOUR PIC WILL VANISH-----NOW GO BACK TO FILES---AND IN THE DROPDOWN CLICK ON "AVI RETURN"

THERE`S YOUR PIC BACK----(WITH YOUR DOTTED LASSOO MARKS)

GO TO THE LASSOO -CLICK ON IT ---NOW USING THE LASSOO GO FROM CORNER RIGHT ROUND ALL CORNERS......

NOW CLICK ON THAT "Y" ICON AGAIN----THIS TIME CLICK ON RAIN ONLY----AND IN THE NEXT WINDOW---LOOK TOP RIGHT--CLICK ON THE "WITHIN LASSOO BOUNDRIES"
NOW LOOK AT THE TOP OF THE SQIRLZ WINDOW----THERE YOU CAN SEE THE "RAIN" ICON----CLICK ON IT

HERE ARE THE RAIN SETTINGS I USED



NOW YOUR ANIMATED PIC IS DONE.....LOOK TOP RIGHT---SEE "GIF"
CLICK ON IT THEN WAIT.......WHEN IT`S DONE---GIVE YOUR ANIMATED PIC A NEW NAME
