Javascript :: 3D Rotation With Axis & Angle?
Sep 28, 2010I know 3D rotation is well documented on SO and many other sites, but despite reading countless explanations I still haven't figured out where I'm going wrong. My background is in art and design, not math and programming, and I'm never really certain if my angle of attack (no pun intended) is the right one. Rather than paste a patchwork of my dismal code, I'm including an image describing my problem. What I'd really like is a step-by-step worded breakdown of how to solve it. Pseudo code is useful, but I will learn more if someone will just aim me in the right direction or point out common pitfalls.

Motion Tween With Rotation Dropping On Y Axis
Oct 21, 2009Is there a way to prevent a motion tween w/ rotation from dropping on the Y axis? Basically I used Free Transform to change the angle of a line, but it always lowers itself on the Y axis when I insert a motion tween in it.
View 1 RepliesProfessional :: 3D Rotation For Symbol About Y Axis Using Pivot Point
Nov 13, 2011I am trying to rotate a symbol about the y-axis, 45 degrees one direction, then back to center, then 45 degrees the other direction. Seems like a relatively simple task, except here is what happens.
Here is the object with no rotation:
Here is the object rotated exactly 45 degrees:
And here is the object rotated exactly -45 degrees:
I need the object to rotate the same as it did the first time but in reverse, otherwise "45" and "-45" are generally worthless numbers to refer to. Is it something to do with the pivot point? I made sure the registration point was in the center when I created the symbol. It doesn't seem to be pivoting the object around the center though. How do I rotate about the y-axis using a pivot point that is actually in the center and gives the same (but opposite) effect when rotating it one way versus the other?
IDE :: CS4: 3D Rotation Tool - Rotate A Movie Clip Along The X-axis On The Default Stage Size?
Mar 5, 2009When I try to rotate a movie clip along the x-axis on the default stage size (I'm using a basic rectangle right now), the rotation appears just as I expect it to. It "rolls over" with the perspective even on both sides of the rectangle.
When I try to duplicate this in a movie with different dimensions (320x480) and apply the 3D Rotation Tool, the rectangle skews to the left for some reason. (See attached .fla files)
I've tried changing the registration points on the movie clips, I've tried making new files with the "Adjust 3D Perspective Angle to preserve current stage projection" box checked both on and off, and I've tried repositioning the actual Rotation Tool, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Could it have something to do with the stage resizing?!

Nov 4, 2009On my stage I have about 10 different objects that are all copies of the same MC symbol in my library. I gave them all instance names: block1, block2, ... block10. In the code for my Document class, I wrote:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < numChildren; i++) {
trace(getChildAt(i).name)
}
The first time I ran my code, my trace looked like:
Code:
block1
block2
...
block10
Later, I changed around the z-axis for a few of these objects on my stage (Ctrl + SHIFT + DOWN/ UP)
Then I ran my code again, and I got:
Code:
block1
block2
instance 16
instance 17
...
etc
Why does affecting the z-axis of these objects affect their dynamic names?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Change 3d Rotation Points?
Jan 13, 2009In the flash CS4 transformation window (Ctrl+T opens this window) you can set the 3d rotation and 3d rotations points. Changing the 3d rotation in actionscript is simply..
this.rotationX=90;
this.rotationY=90;
this.rotationZ=90;
But I cannot find any way to change the 3d center point in action script. Have been trying things like centerZ=40; centerRotationZ=40; etc...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change The Rotation Point Of A Sprite?
Feb 4, 2008I'm attempting to write a racing game. I've loaded in my image, I brought it to the stage and now, all I want to do is rotate it from its' center and not upper left corner.
The code:
racer.rotation += 5;
rotates from the upper left corner. How do I rotate from the center of the car/sprite? I've tried putting it into a container but I'm unsure on the coordinates of the container because I tried to set the x,y coordinates to half the sprite image but y'know, it's not doing what I expect it to.
ActionScript Code:
if (arrowLeft) {
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();

I will never sneer at another racing game! I didn't think it would be this hard to do a simple rotate of an image!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweens Objects Return To Their Original Position - Start Jumping Between Y Axis 200 And Y Axis 83?
Aug 7, 2009I've put together this simple code for an SWF with three roll over images (called: Training, Resources and Contact).When I roll over Training I would like the symbol Training_txt to tween its alpha to 1 (from 0) and tween its y axis to 220 (from 83).When I roll out of Training I would like to run the two tweens in reverse.
This works fine for each of the three roll over images, so long as each tween is allowed to fully execute before a new tween is started. The problem arises if i quickly move the mouse curser between the three roll over images before the previous tweens have finished executing.In this instance, the tweened objects start to behave erratically. They usually return to their original position as per the roll_out tween but then start jumping between y axis 200 and y axis 83 (without tweening - they just appear).
Code below -
stop();

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change A Objects Diameter Of Rotation Dependant On Position Of Mouse?
Nov 16, 2009This is for a personal art project, however I have hit a potential (Actionscript) brick wall! I want the diameter of the 'balls' orbit to change dependant on the position of the mouse but keep the point of rotation exactly the middle of the stage at all times. I.e. if the mouse is hovering over the exact center (both X+Y) of the stage then the 'ball' should have a tiny diameter of rotation (but contstantly follows the orbit in clockwise direction) whilst if you move the mouse towards the edge of the stage then the diameter of the orbit of the ball will increase. Here is the AS which controls a blank movieclip;

ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Rotation Of Nested Movieclips, Separate Of Parent Rotation?
Aug 11, 2010Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the rotation properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the child element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin on the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and inside of that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger item being the item in focus.
On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in the example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a rotationX of 0, so it works fine)
