using AS to rotate a mc?

glad to hear

JBum,
Do you have the code for that pattern of concentric rings you showed us?

This is great stuff guys! Awsome thread. If I understand it correctly, this code:


this._rotation = 0;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay(31);

}
}

should take the playhead to frame 31 once the CD stops spinning, is that correct? I'm using this code on a frame along the time line where I want the CD to stop spinning:

// set this to slowest (final) speed
_root.mc.minRate = 1;

// set this to control the initial acceleration
_root.mc.deccel = 0.5;

_root.mc.curRate = 10;

_root.mc.onEnterFrame=function()
{
// slow down until we hit a speed of 1

if (this.curRate > this.minRate)
{
this.curRate -= this.deccel;
}
this._rotation += this.curRate;

// are we there yet?
if (Math.round(this._rotation) == 0)
{
// yep, we're there.
this._rotation = 0;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay("fadeout");
}

}


The frame labeled "fadeout" is one frame past the frame containing the code described above. Over the next 12 frames, the MC has a tween code that shold make it fade to an alpha of 0, but it doesn't seem to take it there.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I saw this thread and know that someone here will be able to help me out.
I am struggling my way through creating a fullscreen flash site.

So what i need is to be able to have a preloader that starts on the right of the screen and a bar grows to the center of the flash movie depending on the % loaded also at the same time i want a rotating star to be fixed at the end of the loading bar

Is this possible?

please help out a newbie with this.

:D
