I'm using a class which applies a visual reflection-effect to defined movieclips.I use a reflection-class from here:link to source.It works like a charm except when I apply a rotation to the movieclip.In my case the reflection is still visible but only a part of it.What am I doing wrong? How could I pass/include the rotation to the Reflection-Class?[code]
View 2 RepliesWhy I can't add pixelfumes reflect after I tweened the movie clip using tweenLite (greensock)? The reflect worked fine before I started tweening but disapeared after. No errors are thrown. [URL]
public function addTween(mvclp:MovieClip):void {
mvclp.y = 720 + (mvclp.height/2)
mvclp.x = 730
TweenLite.to(mvclp, 1, {y:360, ease:Back.easeOut, onComplete:addReflect()});
function addReflect():void {
var r1 = new Reflect({mc:mvclp, alpha:50, ratio:50, distance:0, updateTime:100, reflectionDropoff:1}); }
I am using pixelfumes reflect class to create a releflection, the problem i have is (i) It only accepts reference to a movieclip. (ii) I cannot cast my binary data as a movieClip var item:Bitmap has to stay as a bitmap so either I make a copy of it as a moveclip and reflect it or find a way to pass it directly into the new Reflect() constructor.

Not sure if this is possible but I would like to reflect a swf or swc file selected by the user at runtime to find any classes that implement a certain interface. Can this be done or do you actually need a reference to the class you want to reflect using describeType();
Note - this would be done in actionscript.
I am trying to apply rotationY/X/Z to an externally loaded image. The problem is that when I rotate the image in '3D', it does not appear. When I apply normal rotation, the image does appear. I have verified that the jpg is loaded, just does not display after rotationY/X/Z. The code below are snippets of my attempts.
PHP Code:
//LOAD IMAGE
public function load_img():void

Is it possible to use rotationY on an MC that has an image inside? I am trying it and it does not seem to work. Is there another way to do this?
View 1 RepliesI have this movieclip which i would like to set an rotationY in 3d space. I want the rotationY angel to have a value so that the right side of my movieClip faces the center of the stage. Like an arrow in a dartboard. I thought this was easy to accomplish using simple trigonometry like this: (before the testMC is rotated in Y space, it has a widh of 1000) testMC.rotationY = -(Math.acos((stage.stageWidth/2)/(1000))*(180/Math.PI));
View 1 RepliesI have this code which works fine in the main.swf, but the preloader.swf (which is the container swf file) generates this error: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property rotationY not found on com.control.MenuControl and there is no default value.URL...)[code]

View 2 RepliesWhat do scaleX, scaleY, rotationX, and rotationY do?I'd like to test it out myself but I'm completely new to Flash CS4 and I don't know how to control these values outside of ActionScript
View 3 RepliesI'm using(tweening) the rotationY and rotationX properties on movieclips a layer above a background, bitmap or video, in two respective projects. There is a flickering of the movieclips and some bizarre distortion going on. I can't seem to find anything on the web about this, -has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it a known bug? Is there a workaround?
View 2 RepliesCode:
TweenLite.to(this, 0.5, {x:this.width/2, y:this.height/2, rotationY:180});
scale my object horizontally ?After the rotation it is wider....
Basically I have used PerspectiveProjection so I may rotate multiple images about their centre so they don't appear differently rotated because of their x-position on the stage.My problem is calculating the width of the rotated images. When I rotate an image 45 degrees, my width ends up being ~146, but based on the following (my comments from my code), it should be closer to 141:
Code:
// ^C

{
txtFormat.font = weiss.fontName;
txtFormat.color = 0x000066;

I did a trace on the txtField.y and it does show 100 in the myFunction. However, when the textLoad appears on the screen, it still appears at y=350.
I am trying to use rotationY,X,Z on an externally loaded image. The image is displayed properly when no 3D rotation is applied, but does not appear afterwards. I have tried various things: loading the image into a bitmap, loading that bitmap into a Sprite/MC. What am I missing?Just to be sure, regular rotation works fine, e.g
PHP Code:
pic.rotation = 2;
....axis rotation does not

When I move a movieclip with the rotationY option around the stage, the other mivieclips are cancelled from the stage when the rotated movieclip pass over the others. I use flash actionscript 3 CS4.
View 1 RepliesI am using the following code to rotate movieclips with a nice 3d flip effect. var flipTween:Tween = new Tween(mc,"rotationY",Strong.easeIn, mc.rotationY,mc.rotationY + 180,time,true)
However the rotationY is relative to the stage not the parent movieclip of mc.I.e: If the rotation effect on the movieclips looks different depending on where on the stage they are. I know that with the roation tool in cs4 you can rotate relative to the parent movie clip, how can you do this in AS3 code.
I'm getting an error of that type, thrown for a variable whose type is Sprite.To me that makes no sense at all because Sprite has a public inherited property of rotationX and rotationY.Just as a test I changed the variable type to DisplayObject and still had the same error returned for both rotationX and rotationY.
var imageC:Sprite = new Sprite();var imageD:Sprite = new Sprite();
.
.
.
imageC.rotationY = 0;
This is the error:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 149 1119: Access of possibly undefined property rotationY through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite.
As you can see from the image, even if rotationY property of all 4 items are the same, they do not rotate at same amount. Each image are inside of a container and containers are added to stage. Why is it the case?
View 2 RepliesI have a Movieclip on which there is a Video Player in the left and thumbnails in the right. The thumbnails are of other videos and aligned in 4x4 grid. Every thumbnail has a small description (textfield) below it. The number of thumbnails are dynamic and there may be n number of videos. So I have written a pagenation code for them, by which 16 thumbnails will be visible on each page. Now when I change one page to other, I need to rotate the thumbnails with text in Y axis and display new thumbnails and their respective text. I have embedded the font Arial and I am adding the textfields from as3. But even after rotation, the text becomes blurred. I am setting the following properties:
TextFormat:
colorsizealign
TextField:
embedFontsmultilinewordWrapautoSizeantiAliasType
Library Font:

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a tool similar to this.I'm using movie clips for the shapes.I am placing the reflected shape by figuring out the point on the line perpendicular to the original shape's registration point, then using the distance and angle. The part I'm stuck on is how to actually reflect it.It seems that if I was just drawing a shape I could use each point to determine new ones as I did above and redraw it, but I also have to reflect more irregular movie clips like illustrations and bitmaps. I tried rotating and Any insights on the best way to approach this? Is there a way to use a matrix?
