I'm trying to create some animations, I put some text in it, but when I tried to rotate the text within the animation, it doesn't work. The text stands inside the animation only when the animation is in its original form, and while it's rotating the text is gone
View 3 RepliesCan someone explain why the text of a dynamic text object disappears at runtime when rotated?It happened when I rotated a MovieClip object via actionscript that contained a dynamic text object. So, to test whether this happens all the time, I created a movie clip again with a dynamic text object in it, populated the dynamic text object with a single letter, and rotated it by hand and ran the movie - the letter disappeared.
LOL in a happy, rare accident, I discovered the answer myself. Page 432 of the Flash 8 Actionscript Bible says, "Aside from just allowing text to look the way you want it to look, embedded fonts actually enable your Textfield objects to do some things they wouldn't otherwise do. For example ... a TextField object that uses device fonts (nonembedded fonts) cannot be rotated nor can you change the alpha. But once you embed the font, you can do both of these things."
How: (for dynamic or input text objects) clicking the Embed button in the Property inspector.Note, this will increase the size of your swf. Just embedding the lowercase and uppercase letters from a-z of one font increased the swf filesize from 3-9KB.
I went to a tutorial at Kirupa that featured how to update your text from outside Flash, by using a regular text file, and a dynamic text box. The actionscript code allows the dynamic text box to display anything from the text file. The code is:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[Code]....
I wanted to see if I could experiment with the dynamic text box by rotating it so that the text could be flush with the diagonal side of a triangle. When I rotated the dynamic text box, the text dissappeared! Also, no actions were applied directly to the dynamic text file itself.
For some reason when I rotate text it disappears from the swf when i test movie!!?
View 2 RepliesHow do you rotate a text field in actionscript 3.0? As soon as I change the rotation property of the text field, it does not display.
for example:
var txtFld:TextField = new TextField();
txtFld.x = 100;
txtFld.y = 100;

I'm having an issue embedding a font to rotate 90 deg. Below is code that works. My library has a Font item. The name is "test" and the font is "Arial".
ActionScript Code:
var myFont:Font = new test();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(myFont.fontName, 15, 0x000000);
var sideBarText:TextField = new TextField();
[Code]....
My text field appears sideways just as I want. My question is, how can I accomplish this WITHOUT having a prebuilt item in my library? I want to make it dynamically like: var myFont:Font = new Font(); or something, but can't find how to do it.
Is this possible? The reason is, all my info will be loaded in from an XML and I want the option to change the font from that, ie "Tahoma, Arial, Times, etc"
I am trying to have a button and text rotate on the 3d X axis. Only when the mouse hovers over the actual button.I also want it to rotate on the center right now it is rotating from the top, I think I picked top left registration, and I'm not sure how to change that if that is the cause.Here is what I have do far:
home_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rotate3d);
function rotate3d(evt:MouseEvent):void {
home_mc.rotationX += 10
}
I'm not too good with for loops yet and I am guessing that is what I need to mimic the rotation.
I have a dynamic text box that I want to rotate 90degrees counterclockwise. I can do this with static text but when it's dynamic, it dissapears.

View 4 RepliesFlash Tranformation Matrix via JsFL. I have to write a JsFL script that creates a text on my Flash scene, and rotate it with a random angle. Imagine I want to create and rotate a "Hello World!" at 45 degrees, my code looks like that:
rotateAngle = 45;
//creates my new text at x:0, y:0 coordinates
fl.getDocumentDOM().addNewText({left:0, top:0, right:10, bottom:10});
fl.getDocumentDOM().setTextString('Hello World!');
var mat = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].matrix;
[Code] .....
The problem is : the rotation applied to my text is 58.3 instead of 45. I have to admit that I'm kind of noob with matrix... so I used the "matrix transformation for rotation" here : [URL].
I am having some dificulty making a path for this enemy i'm trying to create... cause i want him to rotate + move, then stop, then shoot, then rotate back and move off screen... Its easier if you see it.. you can download the swf file in the zipped archive to demonstrate what i mean. I did it there with tweens. Anyway.. i tried and make it but i'm a little stuck on the stopping part... you can also see what i did in the fla file attatched...
View 1 RepliesI'm working on an e-greeting card. I want to transition the point of view from the top (aerial) view of a gift box to the side profile view of the gift and zoom out simultaneously. Similar in effect to changing a camera angle from top and zoomed in to low angle and zoomed out. Can somebody point me in the right direction to create the object and make the 3D rotation?

View 1 RepliesI have a mc that I need to be rotating on itself every other frame, so I did something like this on the MC :
[AS]
onClipEvent(enterFrame)

The thing is that it rotates aroung its upper left corner. So how do I specify that I want it to rotate from the middle of the MC ?
I'm trying to make a dummy from a circular menu that reacts (rotate) to mouse movement, I uploaded a fla example, different colors, size, etc, but essentially the same in
function; but for now I'm freezed how to do somethings, I'm not a programer or actionscripter, but I want to learn.Currently using CS3 and AS2, downloading the FLA example may help.
Ok, in the "fla", you will see a circle who rotates versus mouse movement (I would like to make a delay rotation for a smooth feelling when mouse is moving, those like "_x += (_xmouse/5)" but with rotation. Other thing I would like to do,is... that the movement stops progressively a few degrees before the mouse reach de cian angles(a1,a2), and then, the circles doesn't move if the mouse is moving under those angles, like a... an inactive area(U1), and if it could work with instances.
I have a movie clip that is rotated when a button is clicked:
Quote:
mc_rightBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onRotateRight);
function onRotateRight(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var myTweenRotation:Tween = new Tween(mc_gallery, "rotation", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 90, 5, true);
}
The problem I have is that when the the right button (mc_rightBtn) is clicked again, the rotation starts from the original position. Ideally I would like the rotation to continue from its current position.

View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 and AS3 and trying to get this cube to look as though it's actually in 3D space. [URL]. I know that because it's really two dimensional I'm dealing with the panels being on set layers and I need them to dynamically figure out what panel should be brought to the front. I don't really even know how to tackle this... Is there code I can use to get it to constantly check what should be on top? How would it even test this?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get three images to rotate around each other. two objects in the background one in the foreground. They will change scale as the one object comes forward and the other comes back. I put each object(movieclip) on a seperate layer, and created motion tweens for each one (scaling and position.), I tried to use the setchildindex command to get them to move positions at certain keyframes, but when I added the set index command on one MC ( just on the first frame), and that movieclip stops, but the others play.Added it to the other two the animation stops entirely.
Can you use this command on a manual motion tween? or will I need to build it with tweens in AS3?

I wanted to write a simple 3d image rotating around the y-axis as the Image carousel. I can place all the photo around the axis but I can't get the main image facing towards the screen.
