I know it's possible to scale and rotate an object by using some actionscript. Is it also possible to distort an image?
For example; keep the topleft corner and the bottomleft corner of an object at the same position and put the topright and bottomright corner of the same object 25 pixels down.
I am basically trying to create a display object transformation manager which will allow me to scale/rotate objects. I am currently trying to figure out how to rotate an object so its corner follows the current x and y of the mouse. I always get confused on the math of things like this. I know how to listen for the events and everything, I just am unsure of how to calculate the amount of rotation to apply. I will probably be rotating via a Matrix so I can rotate the object around its center, rather than the upper-left corner of it. My question here is: how do I get values when I don't want them constrained, like scaleX and scaleY?

View 1 Repliesmy problem is that if i scale, rotate or translate a display object using its transform.matrix i am not getting the value in the display object but the transform is happening like displayObject.scaleX or displayObject.scaleY etc. i get this new transform value using the dislayobject? as i am using a matrix transform manager which actually changing the transform matrix of the display object.

I have 2 movieclips (btn_rotate, btn_scale) that are attached to a movieclip (view_mc) that holds an image.
These 2 movieclips are used to rotate and scale the Other movieclip as in the attached picture
I want when the user click and dragg the btn_rotate, btn_scale, the view_mc will be rotated and scaled respectively, in smooth way.
But I can't achieve that.
Here is my code which is wrong:
ActionScript Code:
btn_rotate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, on_btn_rotate_down);
btn_rotate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, on_btn_rotate_up);
function on_btn_rotate_down(e:MouseEvent):void

I'm implementing a frame class that builds a graphical frame around children using 9 bitmaps (4 corners and 5 middle pieces).The frame extends sprite, and the 9 frame bitmaps are attached as children. They are repositioned as necessary to encompass any other children on the sprite.
This works fine, normally, but as soon as I rotate or scale the frame, the children split apart, showing what appears to be a one pixel or partial pixel gap between the pieces.
I've tried setting pixelSnapping = PixelSnapping.NEVER on the 9 bitmaps. I've tried turning smoothing=true. The children bitmaps are always positioned at integer x, y's, never fractional. I've tried setting the scale of the children bitmap to 1.01 and PixelSnapping to AUTO. None of it works.
I need a very special component written in ActionScript 3. It is a rectangle filled with a bitmap. The bitmap is loaded from an external URL based on some programmed rules. The textured rectangle is then animated using Flash CS. Animation is performed using rotate/translate/scale/skew tools. How to create such a component and add it to Flash CS library?
View 1 Replieshow 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 have an object that points in the direction of another object (i.e. it rotates to the direction that the second objects x and y coordinates are at) below is the code I use.
var distx = target.x - x;
var disty = target.y - y;
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(disty, distx);
[code]....
as you can see. Not only does it rotate towards the target object, but it also moves towards it too. When I play the movie, the object instantly points to the targeted object and moves towards it. I would like for it to slowly turn towards the object instead of instantly turning towards it.

I am working on a car game in flash where you see the car from a top view and you go straight ahead all the time on an endless road.
The game so far is built in the way that I have a image of a car that's the main car and the road is a image itself that keep switching with another image of the road and when you play it it looks like the car is moving very fast. But actually the car is not moving at all except for when you move it yourself by going right or left.
When turning right I do not want the car to simply move to the right, but I also want it to rotate a bit so it looks more realistic when turning.[code]...
Rotate an object using AS and also control the speed it rotats at?
View 4 RepliesI have a project I'm working on that requires a box to be rotated aropund an offset axis by dragging a button in one corner of the box. Most of the scripting for this works great, but there are a few things I can't work out. The box is limited to an up and down position (0 degrees and 90 degrees respectively). This is what I want to happen � when the user drags the box from the up position and releases somewhere between 10 and 80 degrees, the box continues down to the end down position on its own. If it begins on the down position and is released midway, it continues up. For some mathematical reason, my version likes to orient around 50 degrees.

I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3.0. What I want is simple, and I've done some searching but nothing that can get me the right results.I'm going to post a link that does exactly what I want: http:[url]......This rotates the circular object around a center point in a way that you can distort the object yet is still remains turning in a circular motion. A simple motion tween rotating the image will only work if the object is perfectly round, so distorting the object to make it more straight or curved won't work with a simple tween. I want to do exactly what is happening here (with my own object), is there some AS3 behind the scenes here making this turn on a center point?
View 3 RepliesI have an object that I want to rotate in 3D (letter "Y"). I have some code that I gathered and edited a bit, but right now it rotates at the top left as it's anchor. I'm trying to get it to rotate at the "crux" of the Y (absolute center), so it basically rotates in place.
My second problem is the speed. Ideally it needs to rotate very fast then slow down and stop. Any thoughts on how to either clean up this code to make it work? I could try it with just transforming the shape, but I'm trying to see if it can be cleaner with Actionscript.

I can't even rotate anything.
