i've made this fla that loads in an external image via a textfile and now i wanna animate it.
i want it to cirlce 2 time around his own center but it doesn't work!
it only revolves around the cross? (don't know how you call it.. pivot point?) of the movieclip and i can't get it to work..
someone PLEASE help me out!
thanks in advance guys/girls/whatevers
It's called the "registration point". And Actionscript always does it's rotation and scaling relative to that point.
If you need the loaded image to rotate around it's own center you need to use a setup of two movieclips. You'll need one movieclip that you will use to rotate the image. Inside this movieclip you should put another movieclip. And into that movieclip you load your picture. Then when the picture is loaded you center the image movieclip inside the one you wan't to rotate.
thanks for the knowhow, but it still doesn't work!
i've outlined in to the center of the registrationpoint, but it keeps aligning itself on the top-right-side of the mc.
what's going on??!! whaha
this is the zip with everything in it. (fla, txt-file and pic) so you can see what's happening.. hope it helps you out by helping me solve this problem
