Flash TV features a distortion effect that scrambles an image to various degrees, according to Flash Effects. The distortion effect manipulates the screen, giving the appearance of an antiquated, flickering analog television. Distortion appearances often give images a "snow" or "fuzz" effect, thus superficially --- and temporarily --- producing an image that appears interrupted or ruined.
Flash effects can be single or multi-layered manipulations, depending on the complexity of the effect you desire. According to Flash Effects, second- and third-layer additions are added through simple steps --- often identical to first-layer manipulations. Multi-layer effects can be incorporated into a single image or be a series of single-layer distortions on several images. Multiple images can even be looped back to back to play in a movie format, without delay, displaying various distortions though numerous combinations.
Flash images and distortion effects do not have to flow seamlessly. In fact, pauses can be manually inserted to enhance the distortion effect. According to Flash Effects, a few keystrokes can add a pause effect to slow transitions between multiple images allowing users and viewers the opportunity to absorb the flash features. Additionally, pauses can boost the success of distortion effects by providing the appearance of enhanced interruption.
