I am retired and a hobbyist with a background in science and a newbie to flash, but I can learn with effort.
I am trying to make an elliptical disc spin around it’s center…like an LP on a turntable with the viewer at say 60 degrees angle or so looking at it from above.
I have Flash MX 2004 Pro and three books of Actionscript to read.
I’d like to be pointed in the right direction for my study of the subject.
I have browsed around internet for clues and also approached another forum with only one reply that did not shed much light. Tutorials on Elliptical orbits are available but not a disc. Spinning disc tutorials are also available but only for those spinning around the z-axis.
How can I make a spinning disc whose vertical axis (axis of spin) is tilted at an angle towards the viewer with the attendant skewing of the shape required in the background and foreground to give the effect of perspective.
Can this be done with actionscript and flash at all?
Where should I post this?
I am grateful to all those who can guide me. Thank you.
Soul.
