[center]Hello Kirupa Community,[/center] i am developing a kind of (near-)isometric engine (in Actionscript 2.0), kinda simple, which is using MovieClips as wall or floor textures. This is the Wall texture i have: [center] ![](http://public.moonground.de/kirupa/normwall1.gif)[/center] [left] [/left] [left] [/left] [left]This is what i would like to have:[/left] [left] [/left] [center] ![](http://public.moonground.de/kirupa/isowall1.gif)[/center] [center] [/center] [center] [/center] [left]The height is always 1.5 times the width. Its a simple skew transformation.[/left] Currently i have two possibilities: [list] [_]I am creating the finished wall in photoshop, save the file as PNG (because of transparent areas). Because i cant import PNGs at run time, i need to create all possible textured walls. A lot of work if i have a lot of textures (Say, i have about 200? :)) [_]I am importing the original Texture into Flash, and perform a free transform directly in the MovieClip. I still have a lot of work because i have to do this to each textured wall! [/list][color=darkred]I would like to do this transformation in Actionscript, so i could import any texture JPG at the runtime (LoadMovie) and just need to have the File names stored somewhere or retrieve them and so on.[/color] I didnt find any possibility to perform a skew transform to a MovieClip in Actionscript… Another problems with Floors: This is my Floor texture: [center] ![](http://public.moonground.de/kirupa/normfloor1.gif)[/center] And this is what i would like to have: [center] ![](http://public.moonground.de/kirupa/isofloor1.gif)[/center] [center] [/center] [center] [/center] [left]The transformation is just like this: Rotate by 45 deg. (CW) and reduce the height of the **finished transformation** to 1/2.[/left] [left] [/left] [left]i am able to apply the \_rotation and \_height transformations, but the second transformation is always applied to the root object, which often might be very helpful, but right now its not.[/left] [left] [/left] [left]This is what i get, but i dont want it:[/left] [left] [/left] [center] ![](http://public.moonground.de/kirupa/wrongfloor1.gif):puzzled: [/center] [left] [/left] [left] [/left] [left]Can anybody help me? :ne: [/left] [left]Thanks in advance![/left] ---

put the graphic in a movieclip (i.e. lets call it aaa) in another Movieclip (lets call it bbb) and then bbb.aaa.\_rotation=45 bbb.\_yscale=50 ---
