Looking to create this effect: http://www.element79.com I've been using AnimationPackage to do programmatic flips and scales But sadly I can't get the smooth effect you get using the timeline. Anybody know of any animation tutorials on this. I'm tempted to do it in After Effects and import into flash.
Just because I'm an effect nazi, this effect is wrong. It's rotating the card but the image is not skewed accordingly. So if you try to replicate it you'll end up with something much less cooler than it could be.
Anyhow, to create real rotating planes, I'd advice you to use some 3d rendering class (for example, PaperVision3D or Sandy) to create a plane, and then using some animation class or extension that allows you to rotate the plane accordingly (Tweener, TweenLite, Animation System v2.0, maybe AnimationPackage itself, Fuse Kit, etc).
Of course it's not easy or fast to absorb that much new stuff, but after that's done, I'm guessing just a half-dozen lines would do the trick quite easily: create the scene, setup camera as needed, create the plane inside of it, attach the image texture to it, then rotate it. It's not very CPU intensive either, and would work on AS2 and AS3, Flash 8+.
PaperVision3D examples would help you understanding the concept better, I think.
Hope that helps, Zeh _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
