When I use 3D rotation tool, there is an option called global transform, if it turned off, the object would rotate by its own axes, this is exactly what I want. How can I do rotatation like that with AS3 code? Is there any property if changed then rotationX/Y/Z would rotate object by its axes?

I have to use Flash CS3, so I can't use the properties rotationX, roationY and rotationZ.I have a movieclip, that looks like this. It is now flat, no 3D rotation or shearing But what I want is that this movieclip has a rotationX, or that it is a bit in perspective like this: As I said, I can't use rotationX, so I have been playing around with Matrix. But I can not get it right.Here is how I try to do it
myMC.transform.matrix = new
Matrix(1,0.15,0.35, 1, 0, 0);
And this is the result get the matrix right, or is there another way?
my_mc.rotationX = 50 does not work but my_mc.rotationX += 1 does, when inside an enterframe routine; I have also tried my_mc.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation( 50 , Vector3D.X_AXIS), but also does not work;
View 2 Replieswhen you rotate fe. with greensocks engine on the X/Y/Z axis with text movieclips, the final state is never crisp with me.lets say your clip is at rotationX 30and tweens to 0 , in other words it starts at an angle and displays full frontal at ends. no matter what i try, the font has certain parts crips, certain parts blurryI've been spending this sunday with all different kind of fonts, embedding, textfields, fontsizes (as you know certain fonts have their "sweetspot" size, etc, etc, etc, it just doesn't get sharp after the rotation.Funny enough, when i trace out my rotation angle it says 0i even tried an onComplete event to force its properties to zero. but to no avail.
could make a bitmap data file from my text, but come on... why do they implement 3D while the results are off? Really would like to hear some tips here because i am tempting to go back at away3D. I was hoping with flash CS5 their 3D render for textfields would be alot better compared to "crash"Cs4Yep theres a slight annoyed undertone here. To me, it should be fundamental or at the very least, tweak-able like image resizing with "smoothing".
I'm encountering a weird phenomena. I have a multi nested display object structure. Some of the deeper display objects have MOUSE_CLICK events. But as soon as I set main display item container.rotationX = 5 then the mouse events don't work anymore.
View 10 RepliesI don't know if this would be more appropriate under the 3D forum but it could go either way. I'm having a problem: when I access the 3D rotation properties of a DisplayObject (specifically a MovieClip containing a Loader and some TextFields), it becomes bitmapped and loses its scalability. Is this supposed to happen, and is there a way to regain scalability after rotationX/Y/Z are set to 0.0?
View 1 RepliesI created a full flash template website loading external swf's.Lately, I managed to add a fake3D rotation with AS3 and CS4 to this global template with enterFrame.Problem : some of my external swf use a vertical scroller also using an enterframe function based on a startDrag bar with the x / y position of the mouse, the scroller dont work anymore.
View 8 RepliesWhat do scaleX, scaleY, rotationX, and rotationY do?I'd like to test it out myself but I'm completely new to Flash CS4 and I don't know how to control these values outside of ActionScript
View 3 Repliesi am playing around with the rotationX/Y/Z properties available in flashplayer since version 10. for testing purpose i created a cube and put canvas objects on three sides of it (top, front, bottom) and created a tween to get the values required for turing by 90 deg. turning the cube (a canvas) using rotationX = xx works well when the three side-canvas objects are small and filled with a not-to-complex element hierarchy. when using larger and more complex content it slows down. the next idea was to remove the canvas elements content and replace it by a snapshotimage of the content instead before starting the turn, after the turn is performed the original content is put back on the sides again.
this results in a good perfomance increase. using a tween the last step of rotation is done in the function that is called as the tweenEnd handler. in this function also the process of copying the canvases content back is performed. unfortunately this results in a short hang of the cube right in that last rotation step, the reason for which is that rotation and copying back takes place at the same time. so i could wait for some time after having called cube.rotationX = endValue by using a timer or setTimeout(func, 500), but this is ugly. so my question is: after having called cube.rotationX = endValue a period of time is required to calculate data for the rotation and do the rotation itself. is there a way to find out the point in time when the rotation has ended, so that then the copying can be started ?
I'm using(tweening) the rotationY and rotationX properties on movieclips a layer above a background, bitmap or video, in two respective projects. There is a flickering of the movieclips and some bizarre distortion going on. I can't seem to find anything on the web about this, -has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it a known bug? Is there a workaround?
View 2 RepliesAny smart people out there who can tell me why this function Im working on to automatically sort the depths of objects placed on the 3D plane is only working intermittently? It seems to work every second or third iteration?[code]Is getChildAt(i) reliable? IE does it return the same order each time it runs or is it based on depth? looking at the manual suggests that it's probably the latter so I guess I'll need to make my own array ordered by the time the sprites were added to the parent and work from there. Is there a better way?

I am trying to animated two images on axis with rotationX command. it's working when the picutre comes in 90 degree it gets overlapping. I am attaching the picture for your reference
I've created a flash card class in ActionScript that uses a tween to flip the card over the y-axis (i.e., by using rotationX). I also use the bounds property of startDrag so that, when you drag it, its movement is locked on the x-axis. (There's also a method for switching between dragging and flipping, but since that's not broken, there's no need to discuss it further).
Here's my problem. If I haven't yet flipped the flash card over, the card drags fine. If I flip the card over and don't use bounds in startDrag, it works fine. But if the bounds property is set and then I try and drag the flash card after it's been flipped, the movement goes all haywire. It basically jumps back and forth between the two ends of the bounds' rectangle.
Is there any way you can think of to solve this problem? Alternatively, is there any way to use sprites to limit movement? For example, would it be possible to place a pair of one-pixel-thick horizontal lines on the top and bottom side of the flash card, set their alpha to zero, and somehow stop the flash card from moving past the lines?
When I change the rotation of a movie clip, and apply PerspectiveProjection, all mouse events applied to that movie clip and all the movie clips inside that movie clip break.The mouse event bellow will not work for me.

I have an image which I have converted to a movieClip, I have exported the movie clip as an AS class and have some code in the class which adds some text to the movieclip. What I want to do is rotate the movieclip around the y axis but I get the following error:
ActionScript Code: Error #1069: Property rotationX not found on classes.LargeCard
How can I rotate the movieclip without using the timeline?
I'm developing a game add-on/plugin which replaces a built in feature of an online game. The game loads an .swf therefore, my solution also has to be an swf for it to work 'in-game'.
I would like to be able to have the user press a button in the custom .swf I am making - and this would open an external application (amongst other things). I.e. if there was a button that said Notepad, it would open Notepad.exe on the machine.
My initial thinking was that i could have a XML Socket server 'daemon' runnning (c#) , which i could connect to with flash - however, as both the swf and the daemon are local, flash complained and gave this error: "Error #2010: Local-with-filesystem SWF files are not permitted to use sockets."
The only way i know to fix this - is to change the security settings of flash - not very user friendly!
So! Any thoughts on how I could otherwise go about this? I was thinking a custom http server could do the trick (connected with URLRequest) although i'm not too sure.

I have a SWF file located at the local network in the public shared folder that I do not control over trying to read the external file on the local network.
I am currently hitting instead an security violation
Error #2148: SWF file file://....mySWF.swf cannot access local resource file://...config.xml"
I've added the network path where SWF an XML file resides to "trusted locations" via Flash Player Global Settings.
The added network path is successfully displayed at the list of "trusted locations" within Global Settings Manager, but it does not look like Flash Player is able to really parse the local network path as a "trusted location"

I have a movie clip which I have set its rotationX property to -45. This gives the illusion of 3d. It is skinny in the back and fat in the front. I now want to add thumbnail clips on top, but can't figure out how to translate the original clip's x and y properties back to the 2d world.

i have a mapMC on the stage and 6 buttons. i need to be able to make the buttons move the mapMC to specified coordinates. the coordinates are set and will never change. i also need an easing from one location to the next. i guess i'll go ahead and throw in a bonus question for any of you aces out there. lets say location "A" is at x=200, y=400. i would like the mapMC to get there and scale 120%. so a button that gets pressed will go to its coordinates and scale acordingly. i can see that this could be script heavy, but for some reason not too difficult.

I've usually designed Flex applications myself but this time I'll need a designer to assist with skinning the application. I've worked with this designer for a while, and we could work well on an HTML/CSS environment. He can't code, he sends me sliced PSDs which I could convert to clean code. But I'm not sure how to have him assist me with Flex UI as he's not familiar with the components.How do you guys interface with designers for your applications?
