Rotating a Movie

The ROTATION property designates the clockwise rotation angle by which you can rotate a Flash movie. You may both set and get this property. The ROTATION property is no. 10, so you get its value by going:

  mySwf.TGetProperty(timeline, 10);

And you set it in a similar way:

  mySwf.TSetProperty(timeline, 10, value);

Play the following movie by clicking the Play link. Get the ROTATION of the movie by clicking the Get ROTATION link. Rotate the movie frame by 28 degrees clockwise by clicking the Set ROTATION link:

Here is the source code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="flashcheck2.js">

<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.

<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:alert(mySwf2.

<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.
 TSetProperty('/', 10, 28); return false">Set ROTATION</A>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
