Flash ActionScript 3.0 Tutorial - Dynamically Spin, Rotate, & Accelerate - CS3 + CS4

[7strokes]

hello! nice tutorial! how bout using the mouse to spin it...like spin a bottle...i hope you can share some code on this...thanks in advance!

[101nathansmith]

You wouldn't know how to make spin in a different way (It still spins, but the objects are still how they were) would you?

[GamingJediPwns]

I love this dude "Man mathematics is beautiful" Yes, yes it is my friend. I love how excited he gets about the object spinning :)

[appzsk8]

To stop it from accelerating past a certain point, would you have to enter a if statement? For example (excuse my syntax ability) if.spinSpeed == 45; spinSpeed = spinSpeed - .1

Then repeat, so it continuously accelerates to a point then deaccelrates?

[JamesAMichals]

how do you get it to accelerate to a certain speed and then maintain that speed?

[theriya]

i am unable to use accelerate(not working) help me at rahul_roy_delhi@yahoo.co.in (same email on fb)

[stickmasterluke]

11:03 he has a orgasm

[Olellt]

i wanna flip stuff...

how can i FLIP STUFF

[shadowsneak3434]

lol, I love from 10:45, when he is all like: That is hot xD you can see Chaos!!

[brandonw2010mlg]

nice man, but one question? How can you make the actual acceleration stay at that speed for a longer amount of time?

[shakin2009]

dorky coder way ftw

[a0media]

Your tutorials are so well put together. Thanks Adam. I don't know if you're a fan of the movie "Clerks", but when I listen to you, all I can picture is Randal.. berzerker!

[jorge3536]

Gracias por el tutorial !!

[jasonjohnson001]

thank you so much for this tutorial this helped me out a lot :-)

[castlemaninc]

I would like to make a spinning object accelerate and top out at a certain speed. I can't figure out what is the easiest way to do that.

[dakon11]

mine doesen't accelerate

[PlatinumBackGorilla]

the running water sfx, chills the mind.

[badmonkeyballplayer]

Please 3d spind tutorial

[iPattv]

Thanks!

I was wondering? Is there a way so that the background in flash (CS3) can be transparent?

[davegibbon]

Very helpful video. When he said "Aw, that's hot!", I was in complete agreement!

[graffitilearner]

i cant seem to get it, im sorry

[billow86]

dude how do i do that with a pic ive edited

[Endoli]

Is it possible to have it spin at a random number between -5 and 5, then at say every 2 second it picks a new random number?

Even better would be if its possible to make the transition smooth. (But maybe then change the interval to 3 or 4 seconds, since transition takes a bit of time)

[vinnie702]

Hey man, great video. Got it to work but what i'm tryin to do is get it to spin one time, after it does a full rotation then i wanna bring in another image, etc, etc. How do I get it to stop spinning and time the 2nd item to come in at the end?

[Davor4000]

Hey dude good tutorial. However cant get to work in cs4 due to various errors created. How can I define the center of my object. Say I wanted to offset the center or rotate around and edge of my object using these methods?

[nazy2948]

Hello,

Thank so much for very useful tutorial ,

but I have a question, mine is not fix in the center, its turning around,

and second I am using cs4 , but "motion tween" is not working in cs4, I have to right click one the object choose "set transformation Point" then rotate it by myself... but I think it is not correct,

Is it possible to help me?

and have u got another tutorials?

[Philon123456789]

we have the function "create classic tween". That is the motion tween in cs4!

[titwankforadook]

var spinSpeed:Number=.5;

function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void­{

myMovieClip.rotation+=spinSpee­d;

//Gain Speed over time

spinSpeed=spinSpeed= +1;

}

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_F­RAME. onEnterFrame);

mine will not work....what have i done wrong?

[Sxquer]

spinSpeed=spinSpeed= +1;

need:

spinSpeed=spinSpeed +1;

or

spinSpeed++;

[xXKillerxXxJasXx]

You might have figured this out by now but you made a mistake at the addEventListener(Event.ENTER_F­RAME, onEnterFrane); you made a period after enter_frame its supposed to be a comma. I hope this helped

[skillandflava]

nice one! thanks

[Philon123456789]

this is the correct:

var spinSpeed:Number=.5;

function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {

myMovieClip.rotation+= spinSpeed;

//Gain Speed over time

spinSpeed += 0.1;

}

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_F­RAME. onEnterFrame);

[alexjamesdf]

Can't get it working at all *( it keeps saying there are actionscript errors, '{' expected on line 3 - well it is there in line 3 so whats it on about!!!!!!!!!!

[Ninjahaze99]

How do you change the rotation of counterclockwise?

[HEYLON96]

add -= spinspeed instead of += spinspeed

[ReaperGunslinger112]

yes that worcks, but not as smoothe as when deleteing the " +" or " - " in front of the " = " sign. I need to make a wheel go CCW and don't know how to do that with code. Can annyone please help ???!!!

[flashbuilding]

Make the number value in spinSpeed a negative value up top.

[larryexplodeterra]

thanks for the tutorial

[flashbuilding]

No problem... thanks for the feedback here...

[anim4525]

[flashbuilding]
