Dynamic Flip Object

Can you e-mail me with what you mean exactly? I really am not seeing it ...

Is it in the parameters panel of the object? When selecting the object the parameters tab is in the object’s properties panel. Let me know if you get it to work, otherwise I’ll have a closer look !

thank you so much….it is simple when yo know how!

Not a problem ! Have you rated the file already? Somehow it went from 5 to 4 stars and I think that’s a pitty since much work went into building it and $6 isn’t much !

Have you found the parameters tab in the object’s properties panel?

Thanks !

Have you found the Parameters tab? It is in the Properties panel of the object that you can view if you select the object on the stage. In there you will find a property called “Fixed Background”. Make sure that property is set to false. Let me know if this helps !

I been trying different settings in the parameters, I have found an option called “Fixed Rotation” but not a “Fix Background” property. I tried setting the Fixed Rotation to false but still does not help. The corners on the box either are cut or completely off. Any other options?

I already sent the file… Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks

It is possible to control the flip object using code. In that case it supports a function called “doFlip”. So: yes you will be able to create that kind of interactivity but it does require some Flash knowledge !

Thank you , glad you like it!

Thank you for your compliment ! However, I do not think I’ll come up with an AS3 version anytime soon!

That’s strange! Can you send me an printscreen of what your parameters panel looks like by e-mail ?

Thanks !

Thanks !

That’s because in the third example the demo shows how to control the flip object by using ActionScript. Have a look in the ActionScript of the timeline to see how the object is attached and scaled to the stage. Let me know if you can’t figure it out by e-mail, I’ll see if I can be of any assistance !

This probably is possible by using an interval. What you need to do is provide the flip object’s instance with an instance name, let’s say ‘flipper’. Then, add this bit of ActionScript to the main timeline:

this.flipInterval=function(){
    this.flipper.flipObject();
}
this.mD=setInterval(this,"flipInterval",2000);

In this example, 2000 is the amount of time in milliseconds in between two flips. So, this example intervals every 2 seconds.

If you want to stop the interval, all you’ll have to do is:

clearInterval(this.mD);

Let me know if you get it to work !

Can you drop me an e-mail with what you have reached till now? I’ll see if I can help you!
