Actionscript 3 :: Sprite Rotation Around Center Error

Jul 6, 2011

I found this actionscript online to rotate a sprite around its center point but I get two errors when I use it. 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before leftparen. 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before leftbrace. Also, in place of angleDegrees do I put in the angle I want the sprite to rotate by?

var point:Point=new Point(spr_box.x+spr_box.width/2, spr_box.y+spr_box.height/2);
rotateAroundCenter(spr_box,45);
function rotateAroundCenter (ob:*, angleDegrees) {
var m:Matrix=ob.transform.matrix;
m.tx -= point.x;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Off-center Rotation Of A Sprite?

Aug 19, 2010

As is well demonstrated by a Google search, the rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ properties turn a display object around the center.

That's all well and good, but I want to rotate a display object about a different point.

I can't believe there isn't a way to do this, but I don't see anything that addresses this question specifically.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Center A Rotation

Jul 13, 2008

As you can see in my code, I'm trying to adjust on the fly the x and y properties so that the movieclip gives the impression to rotate from its center and not from its corner at 0,0

Code:
var myclip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
myclip.buttonMode = true;
myclip.graphics.beginFill(0);

[code]....

but it doesn't work and the clip does not rotate well

AS3 :: Flex - How To Do 3D Rotation Around Center Using Matrix3D

Dec 14, 2009

I am trying to rotate a Sprite in three dimensions around its centerpoint, and I am struggling to understand some of the behavior of matrix3D.

Ive overridden the set rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ methods of the Sprite as follows:

override public function set rotationX (_rotationX:Number) : void {
this.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(this.width/2.0, this.height/2.0, 0);
this.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-this.rotationX, Vector3D.X_AXIS);

[Code].....

I am using prependTranslation to correct the centerpoint of the rotation, and the first prependRotation to cancel out any previously-applied rotation.

Testing it out, rotationX works exactly as expected, and the Sprite rotates around its horizontal axis.

rotationY and rotationZ also appear to work fine. However, there is one problem: whenever rotationY or rotationZ are set, all of the other rotation values change as well. This is not a problem with rotationX -- if I set rotationX, nothing else changes. But if I set rotationY or rotationZ all the rotation values change, which is a problem for my app (which is trying to save and restore values).

I think I am just lacking some understanding about what is going on with matrix3D. How can I implement this so there is no interdependence between the values?

I want to change the centre of rotation of the body to be more in the front of the body. So that applyForce and also collisions make the body not turn in the centre but more in the front.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotation Around Center With Registration In Top Left

Jun 20, 2011

I coded an entire file based on the top left registration point of my movie clip. I want it rotate it to point at the cursor, but since the registration point isn't in the middle.. its not a perfect rotation around the center of the mc. Is there anyway to rotate it around the center of the movie clip without changing the registration point?

ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, aimBall, false, 0, true);
function aimBall(event:Event):void {
ball_mc.rotation = getAngle(ball_mc.x, ball_mc.y, mouseX, mouseY) -90;
trace(ball_mc.rotation);
} function getAngle(x1:Number, y1:Number, x2:Number, y2:Number):Number {
var radians:Number = Math.atan2(y1-y2, x1-x2);
return rad2deg(radians);
} function rad2deg(rad:Number):Number {
return rad * (180/Math.PI);
}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change The Rotation Point Of A Sprite?

Feb 4, 2008

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!

Flex :: Converting Sprite To Bitmapdata With A Different Registration Point And Rotation

May 22, 2011

I'm trying to convert a Sprite that I have into BitmapData so I can perform some collision detection. There are a few things about the way the Sprites are used that is making this more difficult than I expected:

The Sprite itself is a container which holds another Sprite that actually has a box drawn in it. The inner Sprite is positioned negative half its width & height so that it can be rotated from the center via the container. The container may be rotated at any angle at any given time

So my approach thus far has been attempting to draw the outer Sprite onto a new BitmapData object with a Matrix to account for the difference. Whilst I can use a Matrix to make this work for one particular rotation angle, I cannot find a way to make it work for any rotation.

Here's what I'm doing to draw onto the new BitmapData:

var p:Product = getProduct(); // Product is the container with the inner sprite
var bounds:Rectangle = p.getBounds(stage);
var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(bounds.width, bounds.height, true, 0x00FFFFFF);

[Code]....

Translating by the same amount as the previous example will no longer work here, and the box will still be cut off. I've looked around at some solutions posted before or suggestions from other people but they don't seem to work for me due to my container Sprite and rotation.

ActionScript 3.0 :: FP9/10 Enforces A Minimum Increment Or Resolution For The Sprite Rotation Property?

Aug 18, 2009

Does anyone know if AS3 or FP9/10 enforces a minimum increment or resolution for the Sprite rotation property?It seems to only allow rotations in multiples of 0.25 degrees.For example:

var lines:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<2000; i++){
lines[i] = new Shape();
lines[i].graphics.lineStyle(.1, 0x000000);

[code]...

This draws the lines in groups at 0.25 degree spacing with gaps between them.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Sprite X / Y - Values Reference Top Left Corner Or Center

Jun 3, 2010

I've checked this behaviour: If I define a sprite (by programming) as:
var square:Sprite = new Sprite();
square.graphics.beginFill(16750899, 1);
square.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, width, height);
square.graphics.endFill();
return square;
When I check the position of the sprite ( square.x, square.y), they reference the TOP-LEFT CORNER.

If I create a symbol by Flash CS4 and export to Actionscript (I also associate one class which extends Sprite for doing "new()" in my code):
var square: MyClassExtendsSprite = new MyClassExtendsSprite();
When I check the position of the sprite (x, y), they reference the CENTRE of the sprite!

Actionscript 3 :: Augmented Reality Flartoolkit Rotation - Trace The Rotation Of The Marker

I can now put simple 3d objects on my marker and it works fine , but I wanna give my project some events that the user can interact with. I'm trying to trace the rotation of the marker. there's a container:DisplayObject3D which my application uses to add the 3d objects , I traced this :"trace(container.rotationZ)" but it's just returning 0 . I studied another AR application's source code and it was using the rotation of it's container object without problem .and I think I should mention that I'm using the exercise file of seb lee delisle papervision3d course from [URL]. anyone has any experience with flartoolkit? the main functions of my my code is as below:

ActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Rotation Of Nested Movieclips, Separate Of Parent Rotation?

Aug 11, 2010

Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the  rotation  properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the  child  element it's own axis?I've customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin  on  the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I've also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of   code to hide the left portion of the carousel. The entire  carousel is contained within the 'container' movieclip, and  inside of  that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger  item being  the item in focus.

On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the   viewer (as seen below),basically removing the 45 degree rotation   applied to the container.The problem i'm running into is when you rotate the container (changing   the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so   when i rollover the next item 'in focus', the following happens..(in  the  example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a   rotationX of 0, so it works fine)
