Can someone summerize how the runway light texture works

[Cricket]

Ok, i have an idea for shifting water textures based the the runway lights that go along the runway and blink on and off. Assuming of course that the airport light texture could change shape, size and color. We could create a tilable ocean texture and program multiple "runway light" textures over the ocean texture giving the apearance of shifing waves and white caps. We could even plant objects onto the ocean surface, shape then into nice looking waves, and give them a wave motion. I have only four days experience with texturing

dont waste time on it, the runway lite is 3D-ed.
