So what I'm trying to do is rotate from the current position the model is in.
I know the basic stuff like this:
[Code]....
But now the model jumps to the rotationY according to the mouseX (which is obvious because you can read it in the code ) But I don't know how to change this to use currentYRotation.

View 2 RepliesI have a tween set on a timer:
var manTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,14);
manTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveMan);
function moveMan(e:TimerEvent):void {[code]....
I just need to make the tween's position relative to it's current position, as opposed to starting at the stage's 0 position then moving the the stage's -40 position. It needs to start at its current position the move -40 from that position.
If I have several items that move across the screen but the user can click any of them at any time, how do I record the current position of any of the items item in order to use that data to change the position of the item after the user clicks?
This is what I am doing: I have 11 images that slide accross the screen. The user can click any of them at any time. When he clicks one I am scaling the image so it looks like it is comming forward (z axis) and then the rest of the images are scaled down so it looks like they are going back on z axis. So what I am trying to do is get the current position of the image when the user clicks the image so that I can use that to correctly estimate the scaling and moving of the image to make it look like it scales from the center and not from the top left corner. So if have a variable that gets the current position of the image being clicked I'm thinking I can change its position using something like: x = currentposition + -45;
I am trying to build a portfolio application similar to the used by Whitevoid. I am using Flex 4 and Papervision3D 2. I have everything working except for one issue. When I try to load an external SWF as a material on one of the planes, I can see any native Flex or Flash components in their correct positions, but the papervision objects are not being rendered properly. It looks like the viewport is not being set in the nested swf. I have posted my code for loading the swf below.
private function loadMovie(path:String=""):void
{
loader = new Loader();
request = new URLRequest(path);
[Code]....
Below I have posted two pictures. The first is a shot of the application running by itself. The second is the application as a MovieMaterial on a Plane. You can see how the button created as a spark object in the mxml stays in the correct position, but papervision sphere (which is rotating) is in the wrong location.
I have searched the forum and could not find anything specific, so if you do, please show me the link. Let me set some theoretic environment for the question. let's take a circle that is like an anolog clock but only has 8 numbers; 12 o'clock, somewhere around 1:30, 3 o'clock, 4:30, 6, and so on.
I want to have each number, a button, and when clicked will rotate to the top of the circle.NOTE this is a static image, so the numbers will upside down, etc...the do not need to stay rightside up, as they will rotate with the circle image.
Every time a number is clicked, it will rotate the circle until that number is at the top, and can move either left or right depending on which number is clicked. I thought of doing this in design time, but there are many combinations, and it would be too weighty.
I do not know how to rotate it in actionscript and then have it stop at a certain position, which I assume I could plan out in degrees, and possibly use flags to tell which had been clicked in which position,
i have some script that creates a rotating video wall/carousel effect that rotates left and right depending on where the mouse is.I want the carousel to only rotate when the mouse is down and dragging - but just can't seem to work out what i need to change.how do I define the drag action instead of the current +x & -x co-ordinates?here is the full script for the entire carousel

I am looking for direction to this old UFC effect - [URL] that appears on the main page. It is movieclips rotating on different axis based on the mouse position. So far I have found this script:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,EnterFrame);
function EnterFrame(e:Event)
{
mc.rotation = (180*Math.atan2(mouseY-mc.y,mouseX-mc.x))/Math.PI + 90;
}
But this only rotates on x and y. What's a way to approach this effect?

View 2 RepliesI created a movie clip, an aircraft compass which rotates till the button is pressed but I would like it to return back to its original position in opposite direction of smooth rotation and stop. I already have the following script on the clip.

_rotation -= 2;

i'm trying to create an actionscript where i can rotate a symbol in a continuous full 360 degree at one position. i know it has to do with degree/pi, but i can't come up with the correct formula for it. if i can try to remember, is it 2(pi) for a full rotate? how to put it in the actionscript?
View 8 RepliesI have this tween function that moves an object 100 pixels as soon as it enters the frame.
if (currentValue % 15 == 1) {
var rab1:MovieClip = rabbit1._x;
var myHoriTween:Tween = new Tween (rabbit1,"_x",Regular.easeInOut,rab1,(rabbit1._x = rabbit1._x + 100),2,true);
myHoriTween.onMotionFinished = function (){
this.stop()
}
My idea is to set up a loop to watch the tween, once it advances its 100 pixels from where it started I want to do a few things before I go to the next frame. Right now I'm using a timer, but it limits my ability to control the playhead.
I've been trying to create a loop to check the current _x and trace it so I can see it advancing as its tweening but it's simply too advanced for me.
I want to get the current cursor position in text field while typing
View 1 RepliesI've always wondered if there was a way to retrieve and store the current position of an object. i am trying to develop a background slideshow using penners equations. but i get into trouble because you have to define the start position. so let's say you click button 1, and the object moves from x =0 to x = 200. Now when i press button 2, i want the object to move from x = 200 to x = 400. and if i then press button 4, i want it to move from x=200 to x=800 and so on. So i need to go from the current position to any of the new positions. i could do this simply using the normal inertia code.

I am attempting to create 360 degree spin-around product viewer. So far I have a movie clip with 24 frames, each one with a different 15 degree angle shot of the product. Upon playback of the movie, the product appears 3D, spinning 360 degrees.
That was the easy part. Now what I need is to be able to click and drag the product to change which view you are seeing (or which frame in the mc you are on) thus producing a spinning effect. How can you code, in AS3.0, that when the mouse is clicked and drug, go to a certain frame based on the current X position of the mouse?
