Actionscript 3 :: Get Visual Corner (eg. TopLeft) Of Rotated DisplayObject?
Feb 6, 2010When rotating a display object (around its center) the visual corner of the element moves (the actual x and y of the "box" remains the same). For example with 45 degrees of rotation the x coordinate will have increased and the y coordinate will have decreased as the top left corner is now at the top center of the "box".
I've tried to use displayObject.getBounds(coordinateSpace).topLeft however this method is simply returning the x and y of the box and thus doesn't change after an object has been rotated.
So, how do you get the x and y of a visual corner of a rotated display object?
Update: this is what I mean with the position of a visual corner after rotation -->

May 2, 2010I have a rectangle of any arbitrary width and height. I know X,Y, width, and height. How do I solve the upper right hand coordinates when the rectangle is rotated N degrees? I realized if it were axis aligned I would simply solve for (x,y+width). Unforunatly this doesn't hold true when I apply a transform matrix on the rectangle to rotate it around its center.

Jan 16, 2010The AS3 getBounds function returns a rectangle that is not fitting tightly to a rotated ellipse. Instead it returns an axis-aligned rectangle based on the bounds of a rectangle whose width/height corresponds to the max/min diameter of the ellipse and follows its rotation.
Stack Overflow Q/A about the math of ellipses and bounding boxes
Based on this I took a stab at coding a solution in AS3. So far I have been able to produce a rectangle that fits perfectly along the x-axis, but as I rotate my ellipse it acts very weird along the y-axis. Rather than alternating between 2*r_min and 2*r_max while rotating, it alternates between 2*r_min and 0. My best guess is that I have done something wrong when solving the differentiated t for gradient -> infinity...
Here is an example from my code:
var r_max:uint = 45;
var r_min:uint = 20;
var rot:Number = ellipse.rotation * (Math.PI / 180);
var t_nil:Number = Math.atan( -r_min * Math.tan(rot) / r_max);

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField - How To Get Rotated Vertical Text
Sep 9, 2010Using textfields. I need vertical text, rotated so that you could read it from bottom up. I can do it with static textfields, but I need to change the content of the textfield, so I cant use static textfield class. What other options are there? I've heard something about embedding fonts does the trick. The thing with embedding the font....I read that if it works, it increases the swf size quite significantly. Atm I am using a very narrow text field with multiline so that one letter is on a separate line, but it doesnt look good and I need to change it.

May 16, 2009I'm just trying to make a sprite follow the last letter of a TextField with the getCharBoundaries() function. It works fine when the DisplayObject that contains the TextField has no 3d transformations on it. But when I rotate it in 3D, returned values are wrong and it doesn't work anymore.I don't know anything about the matrix objects and all those transformation functions but I guess there is a way to get the correct value by using one of those matrices.I tried to use some matrices and played with some of their values but didn't get any luck.

Is it even possible to get the coordinates of the right click without needing to resort to detecting MOUSE_MOVE and updating some sort of global value each time?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Math For Rotated Dragging?
Aug 17, 2010this math isn't working well. I'm using it for a rotated drag and drop (of a tone arm on a vinyl, a kind of abstract turntable simulation). Right now it just moves a bit in the middle of the vinyl (values between 21 and 36, is this degree or what unit is this?), but it should move between the two edges. The problem is that I don't know enough about trigonometry functions. Therefore I can't optimize the math for envisaged behaviour. Does anybody have an idea/tip how I can get a bit more control on the math and its effect? (maybe with more trace functions)

Aug 21, 2009I have made an application where you can design your own greeting cards. I use matrices to scale and rotate images, and I always need to know what scale the image has.
It works when the image isn't rotated, by taking the value from matrix.a or .d which are the scaleX and scaleY values. But when I rotate the image, using the matrix.rotate() function, the a and d values no longer corresponds to the scale of the image.
How can I get/calculate the scale value of an object that is rotated? And I don't want to scale the image by using the scaleX and scaleY methods.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Omit A Child From Being Rotated?
Jan 20, 2009Suppose I have a Sprite (A) that is constanly being rotated (as often as the mouse moves).
I have another Sprite (B) that is a child of (A). It makes sense that B is a Child of A because I want B's position to be relative to A's position, and I want B to become invisible when A goes invisible, etc.
However, I would like B NOT to rotate when A rotates. Is there a way to omit B from rotating when A rotates, even though B is A's child?
I know I could do something like B.rotation = - A.rotation everytime A gets rotated, but that feels like a clunky hack to me... there must be a better way?
Currently I'm considering making B a separate object, and not a child of A. But thats not much better because then I have to keep B updated with A's position and visibility, etc...

View 11 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: 3D Cube Rotated Using The Gyroscope Data?
Oct 17, 2011I managed to have a working sample using the Gyroscope native extension. I followed these steps:
1) Downloaded the extension
2) Added the ANE file to the library path into Flash Professional CS 5.5
3) Coded as shown in the extensions documentation
4) Exported the SWF file
5) Compiled the SWF and extension using ADT
I worked perfectly. I had a 3D cube rotated using the gyroscope data. Well, not exactly perfecty because after some time app seems to have lost right direction. But I read this is normal and that you need to use Accelerator to balance this. I'm not worried about this though right now.
