I know we're dropping this topic, but I wanted to chime in one last time and
apologize for my original post causing some drama. I didn't mean it as a
product pitch at all, but I can see how it might come across that way. I had
just written something that I thought solved exactly the problem that was
being discussed, and I was excited to make you aware of it in the hopes it
would be helpful. I do choose to make a few things membership benefits of
Club GreenSock as a way of giving back to those who support my efforts, but
most of my stuff is out there for anyone to look at and use. Like JC said, I
was just trying to give you an option, but looking back on it, I should have
offered a more thorough explanation. My bad. I'll think twice before
mentioning similar solutions next time.

 There's a new plugin for TweenLite/Max that'll cause transformation
 (rotation/scale) tweens to occur around any point, so it'll be as easy
 as:

 TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundPoint:{point:new Point(100, 100),
 rotation:85}});

 Or if you want to use the center of the object as its origin, you could
 simply do:

 TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundCenter:{rotation:80}});

 It works for the scale too, like:

 TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundCenter:{scaleX:1.5, scaleY:2,
 rotation:-70}});

 NOTE: The plugin is a membership benefit of Club GreenSock.

 You can see an interactive demo at
 http://blog.greensock.com/sneak-peek/
 (scroll all the way down in the list of plugins - they're at the bottom
 -
 click "example"). For those of you who are wondering "what's this
 'plugin'
 talk with TweenLite - I didn't know there were any plugins!", it's a new
 feature that's part of a big update I'm rolling out soon. It adds lots
 of
 flexibility. Read more at the site.

 Jack

 PS There's also TransformMatrixProxy which has been around for a while
 and
 it'll do something similar and also let you skew things.
 http://blog.greensock.com/transformmatrixproxy/ It's not quite as
 convenient
 as a plugin for TweenLite/Max, though.

 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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

Re: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?

2009-01-12 Thread Anthony Pace

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.

Oh yeah this definitely works.  I was having trouble because I needed to
delete ASO files(thought things had changed in the fp10 upgrade and I was
going nuts until I figured it out); yet, I am still looking for a better
way.

I am looking into the matrix transformer class right now.


Ian Thomas wrote:



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.

  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.

Hey Anthony have you checked out the MatrixTransformer class its got a

RE: [Flashcoders] change the origin of rotation for a movieclip?

>> How about a real answer?

I wonder if you could deconstruct the way it was done in AS2 and make an AS3 
version out of this:

Just a thought.

There's a new plugin for TweenLite/Max that'll cause transformation
(rotation/scale) tweens to occur around any point, so it'll be as easy as:

TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundPoint:{point:new Point(100, 100),
rotation:85}});

Or if you want to use the center of the object as its origin, you could
simply do:

TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundCenter:{rotation:80}});

It works for the scale too, like:

TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {transformAroundCenter:{scaleX:1.5, scaleY:2,
rotation:-70}});

NOTE: The plugin is a membership benefit of Club GreenSock.

You can see an interactive demo at http://blog.greensock.com/sneak-peek/
(scroll all the way down in the list of plugins - they're at the bottom -
click "example"). For those of you who are wondering "what's this 'plugin'
talk with TweenLite - I didn't know there were any plugins!", it's a new
feature that's part of a big update I'm rolling out soon. It adds lots of
flexibility. Read more at the site.

PS There's also TransformMatrixProxy which has been around for a while and
it'll do something similar and also let you skew things.
http://blog.greensock.com/transformmatrixproxy/ It's not quite as convenient
as a plugin for TweenLite/Max, though.

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.

I have actually tried that yet, it seems that when I move the mc in the 
wrapper, the origin of the wrapper changes to be that of mc upper left 
most point.
