Hi,

I’m currently working on an image gallery which is supposed to bring in front the choosen image, by changing its Z value. I also must mention the gallery is X/Y rotated with an Enterframe function working with the mouseX and mouseY position.

My problem is that when I run the script, I got something like the picture here : ![](http://www.orizonstudio.com/url/g595bq)  
The chosen picture does move on the Z axe but the image grid behing got distorted for an unknown reason.

Here is my X/Y rotation function:

```auto

regPoint.x=stage.stageWidth/2; 
regPoint.y=stage.stageHeight/2; 
regPoint.z=800; 
addChild(regPoint); 

function rotate3D(e:Event):void {
    var distx:Number = mouseX / stage.stageWidth; 
    var disty:Number = mouseY / stage.stageHeight; 
    Tweener.addTween(regPoint, {rotationY:(-50 + (100*distx)), rotationX:(50 - (100*disty)), time:1, transition:"easeOut"}); 
}

```

and here is the tween of a clicked image :

```auto

Tweener.addTween(clickedPic, {z:400, x:posX, y:posY, time:0.5, transition:"easeIn"}); 

```

Any idea ?  
I’m really willing to figure this out to keep on learning 3D with AS3.

Thanks to all of you.
