It’s probably two images, the balloon, and then a “shadow image” of the ballon with the alpha turned way down. Then the two images are just moved together.

Put the shadow image on the screen first and then the balloon to make sure the balloon is “closer” to the player.

It can also be just one image ( balloon & shadow ). Either way, in code it can be just one display object (group) with custom physics shape. [import]uid: 13507 topic_id: 14382 reply_id: 53170[/import]

If you play the Float game and see the shadow, it’s like using light. if using 1 file balloon and shadow, the effect would not same. maybe the shadow has offset so when the balloon spin the shadow follow. you know what i mean if you have play the game and see the balloon shadow.
