how to RotationY a loaded jpeg
I am trying to apply rotationY/X/Z to an externally loaded image. The problem is that when I rotate the image in '3D', it does not appear. When I apply normal rotation, the image does appear. I have verified that the jpg is loaded, just does not display after rotationY/X/Z.
The code below are snippets of my attempts.
PHP Code:
//LOAD IMAGE
public function load_img():void
{
img_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, img_loaded);
img_loader.load(new URLRequest('http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5011/5475723440_a2e3e5373e.jpg'));
}
PHP Code:
public function img_loaded(e:Event):void
{
var pic:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
pic.addChild(img_loader);
addChild(pic);
pic.rotationY = 30; //FAIL!
}
This results in with no image displayed. I've also tried constructing a bitmap...
PHP Code:
public function img_loaded(e:Event):void
{
var bit:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content);
var dat:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bit.bitmapData);
addChild(dat);
pic.rotationY = 30; //FAIL!
}
Again if i use...
PHP Code:
pic.rotation = 30;
...it's all good.
What's the deal!? Thanks,
