Re: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
What I don't understand is that someone takes the time to write an elaborate
answer and you have the nerve to reply with how about a real answer, some
attitude dude. Although noone seems to take offense, it's a one way trip to
my ignore list.

How do you change the origin of rotation dynamically? can it be done? or
will it always be 0,0
I was hoping that with the new features of as3 that this I would be able
to indicate where I wanted the origin; yet, I am starting to think that I
was hoping for too much.

When someone is telling you to buy their product or a purchase a
membership to their club, it is not a real answer.
As I said, I appreciated his second answer, where he actually gave
information about how to accomplish it on my own.

Re: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
Load of bull period.
Hi I have a problem I need solved
Hi I have a product that solves it, I invested thousands of hours in it
WHAT I CANT GET IT FOR FREE, HOW DARE YOU???
He was telling you exactly how to solve it, it involved a good product.
That's not telling you you should buy it, he's giving you an option.
Was Thanks Jack for your elaborate answer, but I'd appreciate some clues
how to solve this myself too much trouble?
I'm amazed he even took the time to write a second answer instead of 'screw
you' so cheers to Jack, who has to read you 'appreciate his answer' only
through a post where you get told off for being rude in the first place
since you couldn't take the time to thank him normally?
Anywayz this is not about sticking up for Jack I'm sure he is quite capable
of that himself, it's about list etiquette, that no matter what someone
answers, he/she is investing time at that moment to help you solve your
problem, and in my opinion that always deserves some respect/gratitude
instead of some shitty reply.

Re: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
How would you like it if you asked a question about code and someone
told you to buy a product? Although your answer will probably be in
line with what you have said in the past, I truly believe you might be a
bit perturbed; considering you are apparently easily perturbed.
Answering a question with a sales pitch is not an answer.
We only ever advance and grow mentally in life, as a society, if
concepts and knowledge remain open to the public to consume. Where
would calculus be if Leibniz hadn't published and disseminated his
information freely? Newton said he stood on the shoulders of giants, so
why do you take offence to my wanting to learn?
Working at triMM I would figure that you would have an open philosophy;
yet, perhaps I am wrong.

That's not telling you you should buy it, he's giving you an option.

How would you like it if you asked a question about code and someone told
you to buy a product? Although your answer will probably be in line with
what you have said in the past, I truly believe you might be a bit
perturbed; considering you are apparently easily perturbed.
Answering a question with a sales pitch is not an answer.
We only ever advance and grow mentally in life, as a society, if concepts
and knowledge remain open to the public to consume. Where would calculus be
if Leibniz hadn't published and disseminated his information freely? Newton
said he stood on the shoulders of giants, so why do you take offence to my
wanting to learn?
Working at triMM I would figure that you would have an open philosophy; yet,

Re: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
That shouldn't be the case. You will have to offset the original mc's x and y by half the width and height of the original; but the rotation of the wrapping mc should always take place around that mc's origin. e.g. var wrapper:Sprite=new Sprite(); wrapper.addChild(original); original.x=-original.width/2; original.y=-original.height/2; addChild(wrapper); wrapper.rotation=45; ... or whatever. If you're really getting erroneous results from that sort of setup, I'd love to see the source code.

Oh yeah this definitely works.

RE: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
Wow. Sorry. I thought that might be helpful. Obviously it wasn't. I should
have given a more thorough answer - after all, this list is for more
advanced developers who don't need things simplified. There are 3 ways I
know of to do something like that (some have already been covered):
1) Wrap it in another DisplayObject/MovieClip, offset it however much you
need so that the new parent's registration point is where you need it on
your object. Then rotate the parent. Upside: it's easy. Down side: You're
screwing with the display list which fires off events like ADDED_TO_STAGE.
It feels like a hack.
2) Use matrix transformations like MatrixTransformer class's
rotateAroundInternalPoint() method. Cleaner in some ways, but in my
experience, it doesn't always give accurate results over time.
3) Determine where the point is internally around which you want to rotate
(according to your DisplayObject's local coordinates). Rotate and then use
localToGlobal() and globalToLocal() to figure out how much it was offset and
move the x/y coordinates to compensate.
Hope that was more helpful.

How do you change the origin of rotation dynamically? can it be done?
or will it always be 0,0
I was hoping that with the new features of as3 that this I would be able
to indicate where I wanted the origin; yet, I am starting to think that
I was hoping for too much.

For what its worth Jack.. I dig the classes you offer...
maybe they were looking for a solution they didn't have to pay for.. (being a
code sharing 'forum/group') so to speak...

Re: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?
I took a look at the demo and I instantly knew what he was doing, because the origin marker kept moving... easy enough to correct. I figured out something similar too by changing the x and y rotation values to match the point on the outer circles locus, based on the amount of steps wanted, although useful, is still not good enough for me.
