Well, heres the beef:
I kept trying but cannot successfully come near to an effect using action script. I’m trying to write something in periods (.'s) and make it do a full 360 degrees.
If anyone could help me out, i’d greatly appreciate it!!
p.s. I would prefer someone like Dan to answer, the actionscript animator 😉

does it have to be text? If you break it apart and make it a movie clip you can treat the whole thing as one and scale and rotate as you please. Do the periods move relative to each other within the box?

based on the current number of periods in the textbox, it seems unreasonable to attempt. Depending on the effect trying to be achieved, there’s got to be an alternative to doing whatever hes trying to do :-\

Yea, since its moving only x to x, I could break apart and make each column of dots a movie clip… but I’m still unsure how to do that AS wise :\
e.g. :
