Flip Horizontal Vertical Display Object MovieClip Flash Action Script

Thank you very much, you’ve saved lmy life.

It works great, even for UILoader. (UILoader doesn’t work with the scaleX = -1 trick).

hi,

been searching for this as. Interesting:)

Thanks

[Reply]

how to use work this as?

Thanks for the solution.

Hi,

Thanks for the work your have contributed. Used it. But there is a problem when the object is rotated and then flipped. You get a distorted image(skewed).

I have used the senocular transform tool to scale and rotate. A solution to this problem will be appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance,

HI, Its strange i got stuck in the same problem .. I worked on it for some time and have found out the solution for that ….

what you need to do is when you create the object which you need to rotate in future .. make sure its X, and Y position are at the center that means .. The registration Point is at the center.

As in flash you cannt change the center point of the Movieclip we physically move the child object to -(width/2) and -(Height/2).

If you are clear here now here is the modified code that i used .

function flipHorizontal(dsp:DisplayObject):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;
//matrix.transformPoint(new Point(dsp.width/2,dsp.height/2));
var rot:Number = MatrixTransformer.getRotation(matrix);

trace(rot);

//MatrixTransformer.rotateAroundExternalPoint(matrix,dsp.x+(dsp.width/2),dsp.y+(dsp.height/2),20);
//matrix.rotate((-1*rot));
MatrixTransformer.setRotation(matrix,0);

dsp.transform.matrix=matrix;
matrix.d=-1*matrix.d;
//matrix.d=-1*matrix.d;
/*if(matrix.a>0){
matrix.a=-1*matrix.a;
//matrix.tx=dsp.x;
}
else
{
matrix.a=-1*matrix.a;
//matrix.tx=-dsp.x;
}*/
dsp.transform.matrix=matrix;
matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;
//rot = MatrixTransformer.getRotation(matrix);
trace(”second:”+rot);

MatrixTransformer.setRotation(matrix,(rot+180));
// matrix.rotate(rot+180);

dsp.transform.matrix=matrix;
}

function flipVertical(dsp:DisplayObject):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;

var rot:Number = MatrixTransformer.getRotation(matrix);

//trace(rot);

//MatrixTransformer.rotateAroundExternalPoint(matrix,dsp.x+(dsp.width/2),dsp.y+(dsp.height/2),20);

MatrixTransformer.setRotation(matrix,0);

dsp.transform.matrix=matrix;
matrix.d=-1*matrix.d;
/*if(matrix.d>0){
matrix.d=-1*matrix.d;
//matrix.a=-1*matrix.a;
///matrix.b=-1*matrix.b;
//matrix.c=-1*matrix.c;
//matrix.ty=dsp.y+dsp.height;
//matrix.tx=dsp.x+dsp.width;
}
else
{
matrix.d=-1*matrix.d;
//matrix.a=-1*matrix.a;
//matrix.b=-1*matrix.b;
//matrix.c=-1*matrix.c;
//matrix.ty=dsp.y-dsp.height;
//matrix.tx=dsp.x-dsp.width;
}*/
dsp.transform.matrix=matrix;

MatrixTransformer.setRotation(matrix,rot);

dsp.transform.matrix=matrix;

}

There are some code withj comments i left it as it is just to make you see what experiments i did .. i hope thats help the ide ais that the vertical flip works fine but for horizantal i did a trick. Use the code Above and let me know

[Reply]

How to use this code? It would be better if you can post an example.

hi there..
i hope you doing well..
plz solve my problem transform the movie clip scripting send..

nice job!

// flip vertical
scaleY *= -1;
// flip horizontal
scaleX *= -1;
