skewing through action script

[bilal bin ali]

Hi,
I can't find a way to skew a movie clip through action script. I have searched for it but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. Can anyone help me

No

Skewing can only be done in the authoring environment of Flash. With actionscript, you can scale and move mc's, but no skewing.

If I am wrong, I would love to see how it could be done...

There's no actionscript method to skew, however, you can create the effect of skewing by placing your object inside one movieclip and then embedding it in another. Then you rotate the first movieclip one way and scale it, and then rotate the second movie clip the other. It will make the object look skewed.

Works great on the project i'm working on. creating dynamic 3d solid cubes etc.
