View 1 Repliesis it possible to flip a (duplicated) movieclip horizontally or vertically using AS?
I don't mean rotating it 180 degrees, that's something else, I mean a flip comparable to Modify > Transform > Flip Horizontal.
I need to know how to flip a movieclip vertically / horizontally like in
modify - flip horizontal
modify - flip vertical
But in actionscript, and i've tried ._rotation, and it doesnt work properly, it messes it up
I have a image of burlap @ 500 width x 430 height. I need to tile this as my entire background for my full screen flash site. flip the image horizontally for every other placement horizontally, and then i need it to flip vertically for every other Vertical placement. So the image only looks seamless if i do this. I have a illustration below to help show what i mean.

Is there a code that will flip a MovieClip horizontally (e.g mirror image) when the mouse moves over a certain x-coordinate.For example, we'll say the movieclip is called "man" .When the mouse is on the left side of the man, the man faces right. However when the mouse is on the right side of the man, he now faces left. Of more simply, he 'flips over' when the mouse changes sides.Is there an actionscript code to tell the movieclip to do this or do i have to manyally free transform the movieclip?
View 7 RepliesI defined a symbol and applied 9-slice guides to it. When I transform the symbol, it transforms fine (the 9-slice works the way I expect) until I flip the symbol horizontally or vertically.
View 1 RepliesI need to flip a Bitmap horizontally. I tried setting its scaleX property to -1.0, and that modified the Bitmap in such a way that I can see only a small portion of it (flipped) on the left side, instead of the whole flipped Bitmap. Its x property remained 0. I tried the same thing using a transformation matrix, with the same results.
View 1 RepliesI understand that to flip a movie clip horizontally, we need to
Code:
MC.scaleX *=-1;
I can drag the MovieClip from left to right and reverse way across Stage with the mouse. So how do I write a function here to illustrate the above?
Trying to find out how this works. Want to use this on an object that I need to flip horisontally. But I cant get it to work.

View 6 RepliesI am using the senocular transform tool for scaling, rotating etc... skew is disabled in the tool. I Have tried many ways to flip the display object horizontally and vertically. he function I am using is given below. It works fine when the display object is not rotated. When it is rotated and then flipped it outputs a skewed inverted display Object.
function flipHorizontal(dsp:DisplayObject):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;
matrix.transformPoint(new Point(dsp.width/2,dsp.height/2));

Is there a possible way to make an object flip (change directions, vertically or horizontally) using actionscript?
View 4 Repliesi'm using the an actionscript for random movement that i found here... [URL] but my problem is that i need the object to flip horizontally depending on the direction it is moving... the object that is moving around is a bug, and i need it to face left if it's moving left or face right if it's moving right.

drag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragD);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragU);

this.stopDrag();

I need to drag only horizontally.
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px
i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
I am trying to make a movie clip that contains different buttons. Not all the buttons will be visible on the stage always, so I want that when the user moves the mouse arrow left, the movieclip containing the buttons updates and move along with it to the right...and vise versa. The issue I am having is that my pieces update only after I am done moving the mouse. So the movie clip is not moving along with the pointer. Attached is the code. Here is a sample of what I am trying to accomplish: [URL]

1. Making a movie clip flicker via ActionScript (i.e., it's alpha changes constantly between two values for a set period of time).
2. 'Flipping' a movieclip horizontally via ActionScript.
One of these is, when the fish swims along and hits the end of the tank, I want it to turn around. I've tried using rotate but that only turns it upside down, but I need it to turn around, so that it is facing the other way.[code]...

View 2 Repliescreating a flip-book in flash (using AS3) . I've looked at the other flip-book programs and editors out there, and none really give the customization that my company wants.I have something working, but the page scoping seems to be off. The pages will turn back and forward with a button click but they flip out of order. However, it all runs fine with no error when the user clicks on the pages themselves. This is the code from the main timeline (where I'm getting an error).
View 6 RepliesI've produced a Flash Flipbook. I works the way I want it to except for one thing. In one of my flipping pages I've created a movie clip inside which consists of an animation. The animation plays fine but when you're about to flip to the next page it replays the movieclip (even though I've put a 'stop' function at the end of the movieclip). I don't know whether I have to create a function at the top level so it disables the movieclip after one page flick? Or is there another way that I can make the movieclip just play once after flicking to the next or previous page?[code]...

However, the most important thing is that the character doesnt go through the walls of the maze.And I think thats my problem for implementing the code above.Because it doesnt work properly when i put in here;

char.y += speed;
char.scaleX *= -1;[code].....
