Re: [Flashcoders] rotation cw ccw
You can't unless you assume that the maximum rotation speed is less than 180 degrees per update. This is due to the aliasing problem. This is, assuming that you don't actually know the rotation speed and are calculating the angular difference between two positions. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

In fact, they told me the same darn thing when I built my first web site with a relational database. They've always told me that. And they were all wrong and I was right. I'm right this time, too. You'll see. Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead! One of my great passions in life is ancient scripture. One of my favorite quotes is from Confucius (Kung-fu-tze): "When the foundation is laid, the Way is born." Pay dear, close attention to the foundation. Short-cuts are never shorter ;) Don't worry.

Re: [Flashcoders] Rotation
That is the book I was going to get you. You should be good with that one. One last thing, no one is saying not to do what is in your head or to stray from your ideas. Its just that everyone can see that your not qualified to do the projects your seeking out except you. Trust me, I have been their myself. I quickly learned that there was a certain way (a code of design if you will) to do flash. Certain things are common knowledge (like the trace) and some are more in-depth. If you cant even implement the basics on your own, you shouldn't be promising the in-depth. You need to read more. You will figure this out when you have finally learned flash (and you will frown on these postings yourself) or when you get sued for a project you couldn't compete correctly or on time. Can't eat if your getting sued. If you had taken the direction given all this time, some 100 posts ago, you'd be done and eating lobster already.. But alas after you move on and get better there will be someone else with your same mindset of "I know best" (that stubborn thing) posting erroneous questions trying to get ahead by asking everything and studying nothing, and you'll be the one letting them know how to get their questions answered the right way.. :) Best of luck beno..

Actually, my first project is coming very well and I think I'll have it done within a week. I don't believe in shortcuts. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. That's why I took 4 months to build that fully automated python shopping cart, not knowing how I'd eat through that period. I ate ;) I'll eat through this period, or not, but I *will* build my Flash projects the way I see them in my head, PERIOD. Stubborn, aren't I? As far as getting the switch to flip on in my head, like I said, for whatever reason this stuff doesn't come as quickly for me as it does for the rest of you. But it *does* come...eventually. It did with Python. It will with Flash. Thanks for sending your email address. I've sent off a problem to Gustavo...see if he can help me with it.

Hey beno, I would also help if you need. Send me an email if you cant get ahold of Gus and I will let you know if it is a list question or if I can help you figure it out. If you want of course. I am sort of in the middle of you and the experts, so I know where both are coming from. While you need the help, they don't want to do all the work for you. I don't blame them. They worked verrry hard to get where they are in their understanding and implementation. They all went through what you are going through, but the difference is that they took the advice given. All of their comments have been trying to get you to flip that switch in your head to study more. We must learn to crawl before we can run. Even if it means we have to crawl to our next meal.

if you are animating a hand, i'd recommend breaking the hand down into it's component parts - fingers (even sections of fingers if you need the control), hands, arms etc. That way you can motion tween that stuff rather than trying to get shape tweens to do what you want - they're more for changing one primitive shape into another which is why they go horribly wrong when anything more complicated is thrown at them best a On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 3:01 PM, allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com) < alla...@gmail.com> wrote: > i've also found the forums at http://actionscript.org pretty useful > > best > a > > > On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 2:37 PM, Nathan Mynarcik wrote: > >> Hitting F1 on your keyboard when in Flash is a good resource. >> >> >> --Original Message-- >> From: beno - >> Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com >> To: Flash Coders List >> ReplyTo: Flash Coders List >> Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Rotation >> Sent: Jan 26, 2010 8:04 AM >> >> On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 9:17 AM, Geografiek > >wrote: >> >> > Hi Beno, >> > This might help: >> > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashnewbie >> >> >> On second thought, forget flashnewbie. 3 posts so far this year.

I don't want to change this to a Dr. Phil lesson on life with Beno, but _realistic_ is also promising work you are fully capable of doing. Yet, you promise projects that you have no clue how to do and even if you did make some money to live, you can't feed yourself because you are applying that to video equipment. Your priorities are pretty messed up dude. Even if the Virgin Islands have money, you're gonna drown yourself with stuff you can not fully accomplish. We have visited this same issue with you before. No matter what your reason is for where you are and why, the fact that you have been out of the industry for 5 years isn't just effecting you by the new technology. It's also about how you think about your project in your head. You have to think of the whole application and start planning out your code in an efficient manner. This takes a lot of experience thinking like a programmer. This, especially with your claim of being a right hemi thinker, I don't think you have. Its not that this list doesn't want to help you, because you have gotten tons of help. Its just your posts seem like stuff that we all had to look up and find out on our own. For us to remind you to put a trace statement time and time again, is just proof you are not really putting forth the effort you need to figure out your own project.

tClip.attachBitmap(bmp, 0)
I could manage by creating a second BitmapData object and rotating *that*,
but I'm hoping it's just a simple fix somewhere that I've missed.

[Flashcoders] Rotation and BitmapData.draw() with text
I'm trying to apply a rotation to a BitmapData draw() command and it's
simply not working. Anyone have any pointers about what I'm doing wrong? In
the code below, when tRotation = 0, the text is drawn correctly. When it's
any other value (including 1), nothing is drawn at all. This is running in a
test movie containing either a movieClip or a TextField called txt. And when
I replace this with a graphic, it rotates fine.
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1000, 1000, true);
var myMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
var tRotation = 1 // test value
var rotMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
rotMatrix.rotate(tRotation*Math.PI/180);
myMatrix.concat(rotMatrix);
var translateMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
translateMatrix.translate(200,200);
myMatrix.concat(translateMatrix);
bmp.draw(txt, myMatrix);
tClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("test", this.getNextHighestDepth())
tClip.attachBitmap(bmp, 0)
I could manage by creating a second BitmapData object and rotating *that*,
but I'm hoping it's just a simple fix somewhere that I've missed.

Re: [Flashcoders] ROTATION - ROTATION
- load the image into a child clip - when done, move the child clip: child_mc._x = - (child_mc._width / 2); child._mc._y = - (child_mc._height / 2); - Original Message - From: "Manuel Gonzalez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 9:53 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] ROTATION - ROTATION Hi, I'm trying to rotate a movieclip from its center point. The problem is I have loaded an image into the movieclip and it x and y is 0,0. I know that you can not dynamically set the x,y of a movieclip. I would prefer to handle all the actions via actionscript, versus making a clip on stage centering its x,y and adding an empty Movieclip to load into. Has anyone accomplished this via actiionscript. Leads?, solutions or ideas.
