Is it possible to have the child movieclip rotate separate of the rotation properties assigned to the parent? so ultimately giving the child element it’s own axis?
I’ve customized Lee Brimelows (gotoandlearn.com) 3D carousel to spin on the x axis to make it a vertical carousel. I’ve also rotated that by 45 degrees on the y axis to see all the items, and wrote a snippet of code to hide the left portion of the carousel.
The entire carousel is contained within the ‘container’ movieclip, and inside of that are my carousel items (as seen below), with the larger item being the item in focus.
On rollover of the item in focus, I want to rotate it so it faces the viewer (as seen below), basically removing the 45 degree rotation applied to the container.
The problem i’m running into is when you rotate the container (changing the rotationX of the container), the axis basically rotates with it, so when i rollover the next item ‘in focus’, the following happens…(in the example where it appears how it want it to, the carousel is at a rotationX of 0, so it works fine)
Any help would be great,
Thanks.
