Dial In Anchor Point For 3D Rotation?
Jul 13, 2009
Flash knows where the anchor point is in 3D space in order for the symbol to rotate around it, but I can't seem to figure out how to see the coordinates of the anchor point or type in new ones. Please tell me how to do this. I am already very annoyed that Lynda, a pay service, doesn't think this is vital information. Apparently they think we would never want to do anything more visually stimulating than one simple spinning logo! But I digress...
Just to be clear, I know how to move the anchor point visually on the stage, but I want accuracy. I want to be able to give two symbols the exact same coordinates to rotate around.

i'm a novice to ActionScript but from failed Google function searches, i think i've choosen an advanced i hope possible task: how to read then apply bezier, anchor point and handle positions to different anchor points. What i need to do is precisely align a rectangular closed bezier path with a randomly shaped closed bezier path, both with the same number of anchor points.

I know some basic trig. but how do i find an angle from an anchor point and a moving point?
adjecent = _root.anchor._x-_root._xmouse;
opposite = _root.anchor._y-_root._ymouse;
hypotenuse = ((adjacent ^ 2)+(opposite ^ 2)) ^ 0.5;

I trained on flashMX back in the day and haven't done anything since so now I've got CS5 it's a bit like being at school again! I have a circular dial sat in the middle of the screen with an arrow placed on it's edge. How do I get the dial to rotate so it always faces the mouse pointer?

i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )

Is there a better way to have a symbol's anchor point default to the size of the stage? I'm having Huge problems because if two symbols are different sizes then I can't tell two objects to be in the same location.The workaround seems terrible. I have a guide layer for stage bounds. I'd have to duplicate that, add that to the objects that I'm going to want to convert to a symbol first, then remove it after it's converted. Is there anyway to automate any of that? That just seems like a terrible task to repeat over and over. I suppose one option is to have a blank symbol that is the correct size already, duplicate that in the library, rename it, put that on the stage, then put your objects in there. Wow, I'm not sure if that's better or worse!

I have a dynamic image loading into a movie clip and i dynamically created a transform box around it. However the anchor point of that transform box is coming on the left top instead of in the center, which is not letting the image transform properly. how to dynamically put the anchor point to center through AS2?

I've been playing around with Flash's native 3D in pure AS3 (in FlashDevelop, not the Flash IDE) and am having a heck of a time finding documentation on how to set the 3D "anchor point". (Perhaps it goes by a different name?)
Can anyone tell me the API, Class, or command(s) needed to move the anchor for a given Sprite or Stage?

I'm trying to Resize a panel using a Resize Effect using its center as the anchor point. I've been googling for some information and the only thing I have found is to set the horizontalCenter and verticalCenter to 0, but this is not working for me. The panel keeps resizing from top/left corner.

I am generating sprites programatically like this:
this.food = new Sprite();
this.food.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
this.food.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 10, 10);
this.food.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFF6699, .80, 5, 5, 2, 2, false, false)];
this.food.graphics.endFill();
[Code]...
I basically want the food sprite to spin slowly about its center, not its x and y value which is the top left corner of the sprite. How can I make the anchor the center of the sprite?

Here we have some great flash websites: [URL]
See how the URL is changing depending on how you are going inside the website sections? This is actually great because you can use the <BACK button of the browser in a flash app.
How can this, URL thing, be done? I hope the technique does not involve creating 8 different SWFs for the 8 sections of a site because that will not be actually a trick... It's defenitely something else looking at that "#" thing.

The website I am designing is a single-page site which scrolls using jquery to anchor points on the page (instead of having separate html pages for each section) The intro section has a flash banner which alternates images of different sections of the site. I have used the following code to get these images to link to the relevant page section
name_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("#anchorname");
};
This however just jumps to the named anchor point - I need to make this scroll to the anchor instead to keep it consistent with the rest of the site.

I'm importing an external image, but by default the anchor point (coordinates 0,0) for the movieclip it loads into is the top left,this is obviously an issue if I want to rotate, as I need coordinates (0,0) to be the centre of the image, not the top left?

I have encountered a need to build what amount to classic boardgame spinner.
1. When you click on the spinner it spins clockwise
2. There are several places where it can stop.
When the user clicks the spinner I run a method to determine where (what target) it should stop on.
How can I make the spinner spin a few times, decrease in speed (ease) then stop at a certain angle?

i'm working on a flash game at the moment, and i would like to know if i am able to set the point that the movieclip rotates around using actionscript.
i don't want to do it by simply moving all of the contents of the movieclip closer or nearer. is there any other way of doing it? i couldn't find any simple functions for it. am i just going to have to use some complicated maths?

I am making a 'simple' template builder in flash which allows the user to add/remove text boxes and images to the stage.
I can rotate any of the movieClips fine but it rotates from the top left and i want it to rotate from midpoint. Is there a way to set the midpoint/rotation point using actionscript?

I have the following problem. I have an MovieClip in a holder MC. I would like to turn the inner MC X with 'rotation' parameter, and still keep it in the holder mc to the right and bottom of the holder MC reference point. So after turning it should look like thatanyone can tell me how to do that? Basically a function that takes any X rotated in any degrees through X.rotation = ... and puts it back in place in the holder MC.

Has anyone got a bit of code I can use to change the center point DisplayObjects rotate around in a 3D space? I need it to work with rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ. I know theres a workaround of wrapping every object in aother sprite and offsetting the x & y positions but I'd much prefer a math solution. As an example of the problem, this code should make a star shape:

I'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();
[Code]....
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!

I want to have arm movement such as the forearm rotating about the arm where the elbow should be the problem is the registration point is at the shoulder for arm. I want the forearms registration to be constantly equal to a simulated registration point where the elbow should be as the arms registration point would be at the shoulder. I need to do it without nesting (a movieclip within another) is it possible. I tried using a constant distant between the two clips but it doesn't work. Don't know I have to use trigonometry or not
I think in brief what I trying to accomplish is
onEnterFrame=function(){
arm._x=shoulder._x
arm._y=shoulder._y
arm._x=simulated_x (where elbow would be)
arm._y=simulated_y (where elbow would be)
}

I 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?
