Professional :: Rotating Mc 360 Degrees Using The 3D Rotation Tool
Nov 30, 2010
I'm new to Flash and I'm having trouble rotating my mc 360 degrees using the 3D Rotation Tool. I can rotate it 180 degrees, right side coming forward, but when I attempt to rotate it back to its original position, it doesn't continue the rotation in the same direction (right side coming forward). So instead of apearing to rotate completely, it looks like it rotates half way, stops, and rotates back (left side comes forwards). Probably an easy solution, but as I said, I'm new.
Program A has a cannon that aims to line up with where-ever the mouse is pointing, in 360 degrees, and fires when the mouse is is clicked. Program B has an eye instead of a cannon that should in theory do similar functions when the capslock key is toggled, but instead only has a 90 degree range of motion from the Right of the eye toward the bottom (quadrant 4 only). Where did the ther 270 degrees of rotation disappear to?
I am using Adobe CS4 Web Premium on Windows 7 Home Premiukm 64 bit. I am in the learning stages and my tutorial is explaning the 3D rotation tool and its use. However, I can not get the tool to show up on the stage, much less use it.
When using a simple line shape graphic (that was created in Flash) to supply Deco Tool > Symmetry Brush > Rotate Around, the line looses it's thickness along the rotation. See attached image. I'm following chapter 2 in Flash CS4 Classroom In A Book, and the visuals from the book do not match what is happening on my computer.
I created an animation using the 3D rotation tool, but the quality, the rendering is very bad, rough jaggy pixelated edges. Is there any way to improve the quality.
I am trying to rotate this text 90 degrees. I've read that you're supposed to embed the text....and I've tried that and the text just vanishes. I've also tried to set my own text format, but the problem persists.
Code: var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); tf.font = "Verdana14B"; tf.size = 14;[code]...........
I need to get a certain object to rotate by set degrees (my navigation for this project is organized on a wheel--6 sections on the wheel), and I would like to have buttons that tell this object to smoothly rotate by set degrees (intervals of 60 degrees in this case).
What I have in mind are 5 buttons that control the rotation: 1. 120 deg. ClockWise 2. 60 CW 3. 60 CCW 4. 120 CCW 5. 180 CCW
I've created some code that rotates an arrow up or down when the user clicks on it, depending on whether the timeline is on frame 1 or 5. The problem I am encountering is that rather than rotating visually, it just flips to the correct degree (in this case, 0 or 180).
Code: function turndown():Void{ for(i=0; i<16; i++){ this.upDownMC._rotation += 11.25; }} function turnup():Void{ [Code] ......

I am rotating an object by incrementing in 90 degrees,however after 180degrees it rotates to -90...then it can't quite make it's mind up if it should go to -180, or 0, which should be the same thing? (except it messes up my if statements down the line)(by that I mean, sometimes it will go back to 0, and sometimes it will switch to -180??)Where is 270, and for that case, 360?
I got an error saying "Attempted access of inaccessible method rotation through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.ssd.rotation(90)}" I just want to know how to rotate my image by 90degrees when I double click on it.
var shootingstar:Loader = new Loader(); shootingstar.load(new URLRequest("http://i51.tinypic.com/m8jp7m.png")); shootingstar.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadingComplete); var ssd:Sprite = new Sprite();
when I rotate my avatar. So while "this.rotation = 270" rotates it the correct amount, it registers as being rotated by -90 degrees. Thus, if you type "if(this.rotation == 270)" it won't ever be used.
My character movement has been working all day, now I changed the rotation because I added eyes to my character. Soo... Apparently rotating my character by 270 degrees and then hittesting my LevelArray doesn't bounce him back the way it should, and does, if the rotation is at 90 degrees.
Here is my code:
Code: public function enteringFrame(evt:Event) { if (elementStatus == 0 || elementStatus == 2) {// No collision
[Code]...
Again, the other movements work, and the left movement works too, only when hitting the wall from the left it stops. Hitting the wall from all other sides is fine.
I've a movieclip representing an arrow (with registration point in its middle). When I click a button, the arrow must point to a certain movieclip on stage. I use this code to execute the Tween: TweenLite.to(arrow_clip,1,{rotation:degrees}); But I can't understand how to calculate the degrees. I tried the following with no luck: var degrees =Math.atan2((clip.y-arrow_clip.y),(clip.x-arrow_clip.x))*(180/Math.PI); I found the following is working but I can't completely understand why: var degrees = -(Math.atan2(arrow_clip.x-clip.x, arrow_clip.y-clip.y))*(180/Math.PI);
i am terrible at explaning things but i'm going to try my best.for example. I have a rotating turret that will follow the mouse 360 degrees.so i wonder if it is possible to go inside the turret ("mc") and stop at frame (2);when the turret reaches 170 degrees.
rotating an object based on 90 degrees. For example, I only want the characters rotation values to be 0, 90, 180, or 270 based on the angle between the mouse and an object. I used to know a formula that worked right into the atan2 method, however sadly I had forgotten it
I have set up a motion tween using the flash tween class to rotate an image 180 degrees. However, if I should want to work wit hthe image from that point (say click the button again and have it rotate another 180 degrees back to its original position) I can't. It will simply run the tween again because my function specifies to go from 0 to 180. How I can use the tween class to rotate this image 180 degrees on each button click?
Code is below: import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; import fl.transitions.Tween; rotation1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateThePicture); function rotateThePicture(event:MouseEvent) { //IMG11_mc.rotation += 180; var PicRotation:Tween= new Tween(IMG11_mc, "rotation", Strong.easeInOut, 0, 180, 5, true); };
I need to know what the visible height of a display object will be after I change it's rotationX value. I have an application that allows users to lay out a floor in 3D space. I want the size of the floor to automatically stretch after a 3D rotation so that it always covers a certain area. EDIT: I guess what I am really trying to do is convert degrees to pixels.
On a 2D plane say 100 x 100 pixels, a -10 degree change on rotationX means that the plane has a gap at the top where it is no longer visible. I want to know how many pixels this gap will be so that I can stretch the plane. In Flex, the value for the display objects height property remains the same both before and after applying the rotation, which may in fact be a bug.
EDIT 2: There must be a general math formula to work this out rather than something Flash/Flex specific. When viewing an object in 3D space, if the object rotates backwards (top of object somersaults away from the viewer), what would the new visible height be based on degrees of rotation? This could be in pixels, metres, cubits or whatever.
I just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
Whats the 3d capability in flash cs5, I've been told there is a new 3d tool for rotating around objects. Does that mean an obj import is possible? I am eventually aiming for a series of gear wheels, one facing the screen rotating on its z axis. Is this possible.
I noticed that for some reason whenever I use the 3d rotation tool on an object inside of a clipping mask that the object releases the clipping mask. Are 3d objects not supported within clipping masks? Is there a way around that?
I have a papervision camera of which turns using keyboard input, I have a radar of which I would like to orientate to direction when the camera turns.I have it all working apart from mapping my (camera) DisplayObject3D.rotationY to RadarInterface.rotation correctly.The camera (or any 3d object) works with values I'm finding hard:Clockwise: 0 to 89, 89 to 0, -0 to -89, -89 to -0 doing a complete 360.So if I were to turn 180 degrees I'd go from 0 to 90 and back down to 0 again.
As most of you probably don't know, I have started making a bow-man type of game..... There's just one problem: The code Here is what I have so far:
[Code]..
The major problem is having the arrow's angle be final when I click the mouse, and to shoot out correctly at that angle, and not be still rotating based off the bow's rotation.
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'm not quite sure which forum to use, so therefore I post this discussion here. I want to animate an object that is turning 360 degrees around.
[Code]...
It does'nt need any navigation like this example, but it's going to just an animationmovie.This animation is going to be viewed on a widescreen tv. How do I make the animation fit the screen? I'm not sure which resolution the animation must be. I guess this has to match the resolution of the tv. But is it just as simple as changing the flash file settings in 1920 x 1080?
I found that .fla files do not save in Flash CS4 when the Deco tool or Spray Brush tool is selected. Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround to this issue.
Working with senocular Transform Tool - How to remove/disable tool for objects Im new to AS3, and i have to use it for my current project. I have used the AS2 Transform tool extensively, but needless to say, the AS3 version works entirely differently. The way i understand it, the tool applies to and every Sprite , movieclip on stage
This is a very very basic question.I am able to colour and otherwise manipulate elementary vector objects, such as rectangles. Yes, I know how to use the colour panel and the fil land ink pot tool. However, sometimes I can colour a vector shape drawn with the pen tool and sometimes I cannot. It seems completely random.In detail: select keyframe on an empty layer.I make a triangle with the pen tool, and a small circle shows completion. I get a triangle.This is coloured not for the stroke but for the layer. It seems to exist in two densities - a layer coloured line for drawing, a thicker, same-coloured one after selection.However, neither the ink bottle nor the fill tool do anything. I can set the colour in advance, or after the event, through the colour panel or otherwise, nothing. A gradient fill does not even show the guide lines for the fill tool.
Mac OS 10.4.11; Flash CS3.I cannot change the tool any more. It's stuck on the eraser. It doesn't erase anything, but I can't change it to another tool.I uninstalled Flash, preferences and all, and re-installed it, but the problem persists. Interesting is, my customized workspace is still there, even though I had all preferences and anything else that has the name "Flash" deleted.At the same time the computer opens both CD trays when booting up. Never did that before. So I re-installed the OS, but that didn't help either.
