i have a movie clip calle "A" i want to rotate it around its individual axes....xand y seperately the following script rotates the entire movie clip
_root.A._rotation+=50;
but say i just want to rotate the x axes and not the y..how do i do it?
I'm trying to make a simple cube menu. The rotation is done by buttons. After finishing my code, im having some troubles with some rotations of the cube.

i am currently having trouble with my object rotating to face another object.currently it works fine as in this picture, my object at the origin will be able to rotate and move to the object in the 3 quadrants except the quadrant with positive 90degrees to 180 degrees, my object will rotate a few full rotation for some time while moving to the object does anyone know why? the sentence that i use to rotate is rotation += (foodLocationDegrees - (rotation - 90)) * .2; whereby food is calculated using

how can i grab an object and rotate it with an object which is on it rotating [meaning that the second object is on the same possition on the first object?] can i make it being horizontal all the time?
View 14 RepliesI've gotten as far as getting a listbox with a list of articles to display the articles in a dynamic text box, only i can only get it to work if i use one huge external text file that contains all the articles. what i want is to have each item on the list open up its own external text file, i.e. for each item on the list, there exists a separate text file. I'm about ready to put my fist through the monitor, and that would suck because this is a really nice monitor

View 2 Repliescurrently i have a function in which my object fish will move to a food i am having trouble getting it to rotate nicely to the food currently my function is as below.if the food is above the fish my fish rotation is 0 which is facing up, if the food is below my fish i will give it a rotation of 180 which will make it face down , however the rotation is too sudden it does not give a nice and realistic effect of rotating to the food.how can i make it when rotating to move some distance and at the same time rotate? because it cant rotate to the food in the same spot as it would not be realistic.
public function moveToFood():void
{
var foodTarget:Food = fishArray[fishArray.length - 1];

View 4 RepliesI am working in AS2 and I have a flash project that is almost complete but I would like 1 thing modified.I have a fish image following my mouse.
(script below)
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);[code]...........
The problem is that I would like the fish image to "turn" and face the direction of the mouse. Currently, as is, the fish follows the mouse fine when the mouse is moving to the right, but when it goes to the left the fish swims backwards rather than turns and swims the correct way following the mouse to the left.How would I modify the script to get the fish to turn and always swim forward when going left and right?
I'm a beginner at this, so this may sound like a dumb question, but I don't have the time to figure it out on my own.I'm trying to get a group of symbols to remain in the configuration that they are in, but rotate around a fixed point, and actually make them move in this circular path instead of a straight line.
View 1 Repliesim having trouble getting this rotation function down pat. i have a turret that should be rotating towards another moving object. it should find the shortest direction to rotate. basically what ive done is converted action script rotation from using -1 -> -179 to 180 -> 359. but now im having issues when the object it is tracking passes over the zero degree point. the turrent then rotates around the other way. here is the code. my mind is getting a little boggled. it is being passed the x difference between the objects, and the y difference

Ok so I'm a noob when it comes to Flash so this may be really simple but then again it could be extremely difficult I don't know. I need to create a Flash document that contains an object that can be rotated 360 degrees using a scroller using pictures of the object probably in jpeg format.
View 2 RepliesI need to get a certain object to rotate by set degrees (my navigation for this project is organized on a wheel--6 sections on the wheel), and I would like to have buttons that tell this object to smoothly rotate by set degrees (intervals of 60 degrees in this case).
What I have in mind are 5 buttons that control the rotation:
1. 120 deg. ClockWise
2. 60 CW
3. 60 CCW
4. 120 CCW
5. 180 CCW
I wrote some code for the thing I was working on, yet the problem is that when you grab the wheel and spin it again, I want it to stay in the same position and rotate instead of reseting.
(The holes are markers)
I don't mind if you just want to upload it. But if you do, follow my method (I don't know, say for example using masks or something), and just add new variables if needed.
On the web there's a bunch of tutorial on how to rotate an object around a point ,or a stage axis..But how do we rotate this object around its own axis?

View 6 RepliesWhen I programmatically create a PlotChart starting w/ no series and adding series w/ own scaling and verticalAxes (and Renderers but not necessary for behavior error), the axes and data show, but the default axis controls all scaling and the other axes are erroneous. Thus, the yValue magnitudes do not correspond to their associated axes and mixing series w/ grossly different orders of magnitude squishes all but the largest into indistinguishable floor values. I cannot null out the default vertical axis as it gets an null pointer error. [Click anywhere on the chart to add the next series.]

I have a dynamically created chart and I need to add a horizontal and vertical axis in a script. I can't put the chart into MXML because I'm dynamically changing the chart type, deleting and creating a new chart. Therefore, the variable that I use to create the chart, an instance of chartBase, doesn't have either a horizontalAxis or verticalAxis. How do I assign to them if they don't exist? Should I be using a different type? The graphs I want to use are line, bar, and HLOC and/or candlestick.

I want to rotate an object using the arrows on the keyboard when the mouse is over the object and it should not be possible to rotate the object when the mouse is not on the object. I know how to rotate the object, when the mouse is over the object, but when I put the mouse outside the object I can still rotate the object. How do I make the rotation stop?

I am trying to make an object smoothly rotate towards the mouse.
ActionScript Code:
var rot:Number = 0;
var smoothing:int = 5;
stage.addEventListener("enterFrame", step);
function step(e:Event):void {
// point_direction is a function I have created that finds the angle between 2 points. I know this functions works as it is supposed to
rot = point_direction(obj.x, obj.y, mouseX, mouseY);
obj.rotation += (rot - obj.rotation) / smoothing;
}
This code works, except when I pass the mouse over the center of the object on the left side it seems to spin the long way around. So if I move the mouse down the center of the object on it's left side, it will spin a long way counter-clockwise to reach the mouse instead of the tiny length if it had spun clockwise.
I'm working on creating an animation in which there are insects randomly moving around - based on tutorials on this site. Does anybody know how to make the insect rotate so that it always points towards the direction of travel.here's what's on my movie clip:

I'm using the mc_tween2.as tween class and the slideTo method for moving objects around on the screen.
What I'm trying to do is to have the objects rotate "x" degrees when clicked. Right now, they move, let's say, 20px across the x-axis. But I want it to move 20px while rotating 15 degress clockwise. Is that possible using this method?
I know there's a way to rotate objects using the _rotation feature, but that doesn't move it using any tweens; it just "snaps" it into place. I'm looking to rotate the object using a tween, while sliding sliding around using the slideTo method.
I have one sprite that I can rotate freely, and a second one that rotates based on the first. So, for example, Sprite A is rotated from 0 degrees to 70 degrees. I want Sprite B to gradually adjust its rotation to match A's using the shortest path. (Rotate clockwise 70 degrees, rather than rotating CCW 290 degrees.) I'm intending for it to re-calculate the shortest direction on the fly, so using the previous example, if Sprite A was 70 degrees, and B was rotating toward 70 and currently at 50 degrees, and I suddenly rotated A to -20 degrees, B would switch directions rather than take "the long way." (This part I should be able to figure out on my own once I understand the basic method, I'm just including it to make sure my intentions are clear.)
View 2 RepliesGiven up on the other thread, others tell me its gonna be quite a bit of hassle!What I want to do is as follows; I want a vinyl record on the stage to begin slowly rotating, until it hits full speed, on a mouse click. All automatic.I imagine this will involve adding a speed number to a basic rotation script. When it hits a certain speed, I want an event to be triggered.
