Skew Tween By Senocular

MOTION TWEEN AND SKEW
Hi
I have created some text that has a motion tween attached to the skew, to give the effect that the text is swinging backwards and forwards. When I play the movie from the timeline the swinging text works smoothly. When I view it in the browser the layers seem to be jumping about while the motion takes place.

Skew Animation With Tween Class
We can create tweens and play them using
public function Tween(obj:Object, prop:String, func:Function, begin:Number, finish:Number, duration:Number, useSeconds:Boolean = false)

and here is an example:

myTween = new Tween(myObject, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 300, 3, true);

What i am confused about is that is it possible to use skewing in Tween class.

I tried out something like myTween = new Tween(myObject, "skewX", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 300, 5, true);

If it is possible what is the prop:String parameter for skewing horizontal and vertical? Thank you.

[CS3] Making Skew Tween Go In Opposite Direction? URGENT
Hello. I am trying to make a tween where a circle (with writing on it ), tweens so that it "skews" one way, and then back a different way. The problem I am having is Flash won't go the other way. Since this is a TERRIBLE explanation of my problem, I have included a quick, rough example of the problem I am having.

LINK: http://ardesigns.net/example1.swf

See how it tweens the first way fine, but then tweens back the same way, instead of tweening in a circle?! Also, since I will be using this in a video, I can't use AS or AS tweening.

SO, HOW DO I MAKE IT TWEEN IN A CIRCLE?!

PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks in advance,
Sportzguy933

P.S.
My deadline is tonight, or early tomorrow!

I Figured Out How To Skew In A Movie Clip, But I Can't Skew It The Way I Want To :(
I use this code to skew in a movie clip:

ActionScript Code:
//Rotate inner rectangle
    _root.monkey.t.s.si._rotation += .09;
         //Scale outer rectangle
    //_root.monkey.t.s._xscale += 5;
    //Rotate outer rectangle backword
    // _root.monkey.t.s._rotation += .3;
the problem is that i want it to skew it the way it would skew while holding alt, how would I do it that way?

How To Skew Something
Hi Flash World!

I have to create a box that I can rotate a little. So I generate three squares one with no skew degrees and the other two with some skew degrees... I would like to move those skewed degrees from the actual position to no skewed position. I've tried to do it by the way to resize the object scale _x or _y and the skew degree is getting lower but also size.... I'd like to get less skew but not less size.... somebody could help me?

Thank very much in advance because of your time reading my question!

Skew?
In 2001 I created a porthole that opened using Flash 4, I was able to make it work because i could skew the the window like you'd skew in photoshop. I now am working with Flash MX. My question is am I right in thinking you can only skew side to side, and can not skew the the sides up and down?

How To Do A StarWars Skew ?
Hi FlashPro's out there... Plz help me with a noobie question ..

I want to have that "Star Wars"-effect on a text. Just like the text that appears in the Intro and then gettin smaller and atlast fades away.. Animation-part + fading is no problem its just that I dont know how to get that skew-effect on the text...

* It should be sort of "double-skewed" meaning the beginning of the text should be leaning from left-right - middle of text straight - and end of text leaning right to left.. + all of it also should be "lieing down on its back".. well I guess you know how the movieIntro looks .. Is there a smart way to do this or do I have to do it charachter by character... sjeez .. thats gonna take long time....

Plz, plz, plz help me out m8:s..

Skew/rotation
I am struggeling with Flash MX and hope someone could enlighten me. I am doing the CBTcafe tutorial at http://www.cbtcafe.com/flash/3dtext/3dtext.html
which deals with a rotating text around an object. When i created the text it rotated CW fine while it was upright. But when skewed the text just tumbles across the stage. Anyone know what I'm missing?
Thanks all.

Can U Skew Using Actionscript?
I know you can rotate using actionscript - can you skew? If not is there a way you can achieve the effect of flipping something horizontally using actionscript? I need to flip a sprite so it looks like it's changing direction from a button press. If I rotate it 180 it's upsidedown, which is BAD

---

Skew? Rotate? What?
I have an image that Im trying to have move on my stage in a particular way and I can't figure it out.

Think of a CD jewel box, laying flat on a table. Your view is from the fromt of the table, about eye level so you can hardly see the CD Jewel box at all.

When a button is clicked, I want the CD Jewel box to slowly "flip up" so that the front can now be viewed. To have the affect I'm looking for, I need it to flip straight up... as if the bottom of the jewel box stayed in place and the to of the jewel box came towards you.

Any thoughts?

thanks

Can You Skew A MC With Actionscript ?
Hi,
Just a quick one ... does anyone know if you can skew with actionscript. I have yet to find any info on this. Is there some low level method by writing Flash byte code. Or is this just asking to much. Seems that if it can be done with a tween it should be possible with action script ??? Any undocumented info on this or is it right in front of my face and just have missed it.

Thanks in advance.

Skew Not Perspective?
Hi everyone,

I know this is such a simple question, i just can't figure it out.

I have attached an image example of what i am trying to achieve.

I need to animate a box that skew's at one end (gets smaller).

But all i can seem to do is tilt the box. Is there a way i can edit each point to achieve the example (a) in my attachment. I can only seem to create example (b).

I know i can do it in photoshop but i need to do it in flash.

Thanks for your time,

Tom

[F8] Skew With Actionscript
Does anyone know how to go about skewing a movieClip using actionscript?

I'm hoping to create an iTunes 7-style coverflow nav (the one where all the album artwork is assembled in a horizontal pane and stacks it up next to each other).
I was hoping to recreate this in flash as I think it would make a pretty cool nav for a photo/video gallery.. I basically want to dynamically skew all items left/right of center to the corresponding direction whilst keeping the center piece flipped around towards the user and slightly scaled.
This would all occur in an easing horizontal scroll pane so obviously would have to dynamically flip the skew as items are scrolled left/right.

If anyone has any ideas how to achieve any of this or specifically how to go about skewing objects with AS, i'd be really appreciative.

Thanks

TextField With A Skew
I need to basically make a text field fill a skew shape without distortion. Essentially, the text needs to appear liek this:

[F5] Any Registration Pt. To Skew In AS
I am trying to adapt code for skewing (pre-transform matrix) to use any arbitrary registration point (not just center). Since the skewed object is 3 levels of embedded MCs and the arbitrary registration point is 2 levels of embedded MCs, that's just the first part I'm having trouble with... Here's the two sets of code, and hopefully someone can help me if I've made it at all clear!

http://www.actionscript.org/resource...ipt/Page1.html and shown here:

PHP Code:




/*
    Skew MovieClip Object- send it the MC that needs to be skewed, and the number of degrees to skew it
*/
MovieClip.prototype.skewMeY = function(skewTarget,degrees){

    // converts degrees to radians for use in trig functions
    skewAngle = degrees*Math.PI/360;
    // rotate the lowest level 45 degrees. this is necessary for the skew to be diagonal
    skewTarget._rotation = 45;
    // stretch the middle level. this line may look simple, but it was derived from a lot of math!
    skewTarget._parent._yscale = 100/Math.tan( -skewAngle );
    // we rotate the middle level back some. not 45 degrees because when we stretched it, the angle of the base became less
    skewTarget._parent._rotation = skewAngle*180/Math.PI;
    // take the starting height and find out what that would be if it was rotated
    newWidth = Math.sin( -skewAngle )*skewTarget.defaultWidth;
    // find what the scale is from 100%
    newScale = 100 * newWidth / skewTarget.defaultWidth;
    // apply the new scale to the top level to make the object appear to stay the same size
    skewTarget._parent._parent._xscale = skewTarget._parent._parent._yscale = newScale;
}

Movie Skew?
Hi,

I've been having trouble trying to fit a video movie (imported MPEG) clip into an image of a TV screen (see attached). I can skew it to an extent but it still doesn't fit. I've also tried holding control key whilst pulling the tags (as you can do with vector shapes) but it just springs back again! I know its an odd shape but I like the perspective. It is at all possible to do this? is there any other software I could use?

Very very grateful for any advice/help!

Skew Via Actionscript
I am looking to create an animation that is similar to this one:

using solely actionscript. What I want is to make a card game and animate the card flip using actionscript that would show the front and back of the card while flipping. I just want a straight down view of the cards. I have done this with tweens, but have no idea how to skew a symbol with actionscript... a simple example would suffice.

Thanks.

How To Skew An Movieclip?
Hi, I've made the below rotating cog movieclip but I'm having trouble locating a method to skew it accurately. I was told a Displacement filter would work but what i've read it super complicated, and in some cases I've even read skew isn't possible.

http://www.philtrated.com/stage/cog.swf

(example below) I'm trying to skew the circle (1) to perfectly match (2)

http://www.philtrated.com/stage/cogs.jpg


But it's almost impossible to match using the modify > tranform > rotate and skew tool.

Is it possible to do in actionscript?

Thank you
