ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotating Round Y Axis Changes Size Of Object?
Oct 14, 2009
I have an flv file which I am playing through an flv playback component. The flv has a width of 320 pixels, however I wish to dynamically control the width of this flv, therefore I have placed it in a movieclip, and set the width to an arbitrary figure (400 in the example below). All of this works fine.
If I then decide to add a function to spin the Movie clip round 360Deg on the Y access, by the time my Movie Clip has done a full circle it is smaller than it was (now 361 pixels).
If I keep the Movie Clip at the same width as the original flv, there is no problem, and if I reduce the width before the spin, then post spin the Movie Clips width is wider.
Code:
import fl.video.*;
var vid:FLVPlayback;
vid = new FLVPlayback();
vid.source = "Media/Some.flv";
[Code]......

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?

I want to rotate the object on these axes, but it's causing a problem in that I want to flip the image 180 degrees only, however the image becomes mirrored when it flips and you must continue rotating another 180 degrees to get it back to normal.
Is there a way to take off the image mirror when rotating something?

I am creating an animation for a client.I have images of a statue from different angles.I am rotating the images in '3D', similar to a merry-go-round or how the planets circle the sun.I have five separate images, all separated equally by degrees on the circle path (orbit, if you will)
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
y=200;
speed=1;[code].....
Each image is on its own layer on the stage inside the same swf/fla. I'm using the actionscript to animate them. It works, however, I'm having issues with swapping with layers.Basically, imagine that the images are like planets orbiting the sun (the sun would be the center point of the z axis). Right now, the layers are determined by the stacking order I have in the fla file. So, when the first images moves in front of the 'sun' - it should be the top layer, and then, when it circles behind the 'sun' - it should go to the bottom layer. I need the image to be the top layer for 180 degrees, and then the bottom layer (when it goes behind the 'sun') for 180 degrees.
The image also needs to be behind the next images starting to circle the front of the 'sun'. (remember, I'm using the word 'sun' as the center of the z axis).The above code is placed on the instance of the first movie clip which contains the first statue image.Similar code (with different angles and different swapDepths statements) is placed on each instance for the remaining four movie clips. I have 5 total. (see link for swf file)I do need to keep the stacking order somewhat intact, based on the order the statues rotate - but I do need for each one to go to a different lower layer when going behind the 'sun' and then moving up to a higher layer when going in front of the 'sun'.

i want a character to move on a globe. the movement of the character is shown though not by shifting the positions of the caharcter but by the rotation of the surface of the globe. buttons are used to move leftward and rightward.
Also, there are three layers of the globe to show depth. how would i script it so that the layers of the globe rotate at different speed?
i've uploaded a zipped of a fla file.

I'm trying to grasp how functions and motion tweening works.
Heres my question. How do i make an object move along the y axis once it has reached its x axis target?
HEre is the code, that i got from here.
and what in this code is making the MC ease out?[code]...

I have a rectangular movie clip which I am rotating along its y-axis according to the position of the mouse, using this code:
PHP Code:
rotateClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doTilt);
function doTilt(e:Event):void {
var clipToTilt:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target);
clipToTilt.rotationY = (stage.mouseX-400)/10; // The stage width is 800
}
When I position the clip in the centre of the stage (x=400) the function works fine - the clip rotates from -40 to 40 degrees, and the perspective effect looks the same at each extremity. However, when I change the x co-ords of the clip to 600 it still rotates in the range -40 to 40 degrees; but it looks as if it's turned much further round at -40 degrees than it does at 40 degrees. Surely if it's rotating by the same amount it should look the same, wherever it's positioned on the stage? I've changed the vanishing point of the object to x=600, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
The reason I'm using the centre of the stage as a reference is because I want the clip to appear un-rotated when the cursor is in the centre of the movie. Is there another value I should be setting, or have I misunderstood the concept of rotating along an axis?

I have 4 movie clips rotating around a center axis. I know how to make each one pause individually, but I don't know how to get them all to pause when you roll over just one of them. Right now it only pauses the one you roll over and the others continue to rotate. I have this code pasted into the actions of each movieclip that is rotating.
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var radius = 220;
var speed = .6;
var xcenter = 450;
var ycenter = 300;

I posted a question regarding how to make a ladybug move around the screen and I managed to make a class that loaded a ladybug png then using a timer moves the bug around the screen...
but I have a huge problem...this has been bugging me all day and cannot find a solution...
The ladybug moves around the screen but rotates towards the moving direction before moving. The problem is that the ladybug is rotating at 0,0 axis and not at the centre of the movieClip. Is there a way to offset the registration point so that the ladybug rotates centred?

I have a dynamic textbox, left justified, characters embedded, set on whole pixel x and y, 266 wide and 310 high. I then made that into a movieclip with registration at the center. I then use code to flip it on the Y axis. The text is clear before the first flip when you test the movie. Flipped 180 on the Y axis so that it is backwards it is fuzzy. Flip it 180 again so it is back in its starting position it is still fuzzy. I have tried doing it without code, just flip by entering a value in the transform panel for the Y axis, it still goes fuzzy.
I need the text on the backside of my panel to be clear. go here to see the full panel in action [URL] click through to "work" on the menu. I am attaching a very simple FLA with a flipping textbox mc and a plain textbox on stage to show how the text should look

I need to be able to round a given number to an even number that is divisible by 10, 100, or 1000 depending on it's size.
For example:
4 would be 0 -- Round to nearest 10
6 would be 10 -- Round to nearest 10
54 would be 50 -- Round to nearest 10

When 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?!

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

currently 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];

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?

i'm trying to use actionscript so i can make an object move up and down the Y axis by inputing numbers into a textbox. However at the moment my object starts in the centre and then when i enter a number it only goes down, and im not too sure how i can use negative numbers to make it travel up the y axis. I was thinking of using the numbers -10 - 10 so -10 would go down and 10 go up. Here is my code

I have a problem. I got an object on the z-axis that goes back to position 500 on the z-axis whenever it hits 0. I want it to move to a random position on the X-Axis.
So far so good, but when it goes back, I want it to choose another random position. Instead it returns in the same angle in which it left the screen so it will eventually leave the screen. Again, I want it to go like left, right, right, left or whatever, but not the same way all the time. [code]...
