Re: [actionstep-core] Rotation

[Ray C. <rc...@gm...>]

Hi,
maybe you can attach it to another clip.

Say you have a box w by h, which is originally at (x,y). You want the
centre of rotation to be at (xc,yc). So, attach it to a clip:

daddy_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("kid_mc", daddy_mc.getNextHigestDepth());
daddy_mc._x = x-xc;
daddy_mc._y = y-yc;
kid_mc._x = xc;
kid_mc._y = xc;

Since the absolute coordinates of the attached clip takes into account
the coordinates of the parent clip, kid clip appears at the point (x,
y) but has rotation centre (xc, yc).

To do this in ActionStep your movieclip heirarchy should look like this:

mcBounds
|- holder
|- daddy_mc
|- kid_mc
