Flash :: Lee's Carousel - Rotate Around Object?

[F8] 3D Carousel Rotate Around Object?
Hi,

I followed Lee's 3D Carousel tutorial at GotoAndLearn.com and have had good results.

However there is one more detail I would like to add that I haven't been able to figure out, which is having these icons rotating around another image and having the depths swap accordingly so that, in this particular case, the reflections drop behind the image in the center.

Anyone have any advice?

I have attached my .fla

Carousel Rotate ?
Hello, New to forum but have been following site for some time. Even bought Lee's Lynda.com Flash video CD tut. Everything is always done just great!

My question is, any ideas on how to limit the area to just the carousel where the mouse controls rotation? It is now set that no matter where you are on the stage when you mouse left or right it rotates. Just want to rotate when over the carousel. Sounds simple but I can't figure it out. THANKS

Rotate Object More Than 360
I am trying to make a motion tween where an object rotates completely around and then stops in another rotated position so this would be greater than 360. Flash 5 automatically changes any rotation greater than 360 to whatever the angle is with no full rotation (if that makes any sense at all)

Rotate Around An Object?
Hey Guys,

I am wondering if it is possible to make the user seem as if they are interactively moving around an object... NOT like a QVR panoramic approach but the opposite I guess.
For example.... the user scrolls to the right and they are 'moving around' a person lets say. If they scroll to the left then it seems as if they are moving around the person to the left. The catch to this seems to be making it work if you scroll to the left AND right. I need this to be a flash SWF.

Can it be done?

Has it been done?

}

How do I make the object to rotate again subsequently everytime I click on the object?

I appreciate your help.

How To Rotate A 3d Object.
Hi!
I have a movie with a 3d object made in 3D Max, a view of a room, camera angle outside
and a little above, where the camera rotates 360* around the room. This i placed in a MC.
I would like the movie to play so the room rotates, and then you could grab the room and
hold it so it stop rotating, as soon as you let it go it starts to rotate by itself. You should
also be able to grab the room and start to spin it fast in either direction Left or Right.
I dont even know where to begin so any help is welcome.
Thanx a lot.

Trying To Get An Object To Rotate Randomly

so i am trying to get movieclip to rotate randomly between to degrees (0 and -190)

this is the code i used:

stop();
var rotate_dest:Number = -50;
var rotate_amount:Number = 0;
var rotate_min:Number = 0;
var rotate_max:Number = -190;
needle._rotation = 0;

onEnterFrame = function () {
rotate_amount = Math.ceil((rotate_dest-needle._rotation)/7);
needle._rotation += rotate_amount;
if (needle._rotation == rotate) {
rotate = Math.ceil(Math.random()-190);
}
};

i have no idea why it doesnt work, the needle moves half way and then stops never to move again. its doing my head in as from what i can tell, the maths should work...i think.

On Alt+click Rotate Object...
Hi there,

I'm looking for some info on how to rotate and object in Flash 8 using a keyboard command.

I have a floorplan which users can drag furniture on to, and I would like it so that if they were to hold down alt and click on the peice of furniture, it would rotate 45 degrees.

What script (if any?) would help rotate 45 degrees everytime they alt + click?

Essentially I would like it to rotate 45 degrees more, everytime they click, so they have an option of rotating it to a full 360 degrees.

Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this?

Thanks.

Rotate An Object In Flash CS4
Hi everybody,

I'm new to flash and would like to animate-spin the navigation buttons on a website. I thought that if I created the object and then moved down on the timeline and rotated it with the 3d rotation tool, that would do the trick, but it doesn't work when i test the movie. Can someone tell me how to animate the object (in this case, the button is saved as a movie clip) so that it spins around? i tried this tutorial (http://www.flashvault.net/tutorial.asp?ID=73), but got multiple errors on the action script code.

Second, there will be 4 nav buttons in all on the site, what's the best way to create the navbar? Do I try to create individual flash files for each button and insert into dreamweaver separately or is there a better way to create the entire nav bar in flash and then bring that into dreamweaver?

Thanks,

Veronica

Rotate Object Using Mouse Coordinates
Does anyone know how to or where I can find the actionscript for rotating an object on the spot by moving the cursor around the screen?.

Meaning when the mouse is to the right of the object it rotates left and if the cursor is to the left it rotates right.

while distance away from the object on screen affects the speed of rotation.

anyone know??

Easy Way To Rotate A Draggable Object?
If I create a draggable object using actionscript and a movie clip. Is there an easy way to allow for a user to be able to rotate the object as little or as much as they want to after it has been deemed draggable? I am not looking to have the object free rotate by itself but for the user to rotate it on command. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Help Please Making Object Rotate With Button...
Does anyone know how to make a button that makes a movie clip rotate X degreese each time I push it.

I've already tried with the SetProberty( "MC", _rotation, "15"); but when you do it this way you can only press the button once then you have to reset the movie again.

One more question....

How do you change the rotation point in ActionScrip. Non-script movies it's just to change it by using the transform tool and you can get a square to spin around its own corner, but how do you do a simular task in ActionScript.

Any help would be appreciated...

Making An Object Rotate, Controllably
Hey, I'm new here, what's going on ...

So I'm trying to make a graphic rotate in Flash MX 2004. I can make it spin by making it rotate CW with the little tool in the properties thing, but I also wanna add some keyframes in the middle of it rotating for alpha changes. If I put a keyframe in it now, I totally screw up the rotation. I'm thinking along the lines of rotating the object at the last frame, then having the first frame tween to it. I've tried that too, but it doesn't tween. I don't even realyl know if this makes any sense ... if you have any questions please ask!

Make Object Rotate W/ Mouse Over
ok, so here's the deal. i have a menu that rotates in a half circle. its always rotating unless you putt your mouse over it, then it stops. since this is a half circle, you cant see all the options at any one time, i wanted the user to be able to grab the circle, or put the mouse over a part of it to speed up the circle, or control it so they can rotate the object until their desired option appears. Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?

thanks for anything you can tell me

How To I Map Bitmaps Onto 3D Object -- And Rotate It In 3D Space (FP 10)?
I need to estimate for a project whether I can do the following:

• click on a "book" (or otherwise horizontally lying oblong object) and then have it rotate outwards, spin through 3d space and open up.

I think that the new facilities in FP10 AS3 will allow me to do this, but although I'm a good AS3 coder, I'm a little unclear how to proceed with mapping bitmaps to objects, how to use drawTriangles(), etc. I'm not all that familiar with the 3d world and could use help in making that first step forwards.

I realize that the AS3 world is still relatively limited -- and I am pretty clear on how to manipulate flat DisplayObjects in the Z-space, but it's the second area, that of actually representing 3D objects and moving them, rotating them in 3D space, that stumps me.

Is what I'm trying to do a relatively simple task (never mind the "opening" part -- simply the rotating of a 3D box from an end-on view to an upright view)? Can you offer me any guidance, links to tutorials, more expository documentation than the official Adobe docs?

Thanks very much!

How Do I Rotate An Object 45 Degrees At A Time
I'm designing a simple online floor plan staging area and need to be able to move and rotate (45 degrees at a time) simple boxes. Literally picture squares on a white background that you can move around and with the click of a button (perhaps by clicking a small icon within each square) each square can be rotated at 45 degree increments clockwise.

At the same time, I need the option to duplicate a box on the stage as many times as needed. (Is that even possible?) Basically, the stage will start off with just 4 boxes, all different sizes. From each of those boxes, perhaps simply clicking on an icon of one of the boxes, a copy can be generated for placement within the stage. You get the idea.

I already have the code down for movement within the stage area....

on (press) {
startDrag(this, true);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

.... but need help with the rest. The way I have my objects (boxes) set up is with each box as a button. The buttons are then placed within a movie clip. The code above is attached to the movie clip.

Hope I'm explaining everything correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated!

}
and:

Code:
