Greetings,
I am not sure that I qualify as a noob, I am just getting into territory I have not visited before.
I have assumed responsibility for a flash project at work. It was a jumbled combination of old techniques. I am re-writing the whole thing in AS, instead of using the dozens of symbols and tweens. So far, everything is going well - but now I need some guidance.
Let me describe what one of the old tweens does - and then see if you can help. Basically, it is a square with some text in it - looks like a piece of notebook paper. The user clicks on a picture of a file cabinet and the piece of paper appears, very small at first. Then it grows and spins around 360 degrees until it reaches full size. So it is sort of flying out from the file cabinet.
I want to re-create this in Action Script. First I want to draw it. I can handle that. Then I want to spin it 360 degrees. I have never done that, but I’m sure it’s easy. If you point me in the right direction, I’ll be fine. The hard part is that it has text on it. I want the text to grow and spin along with the page. If I create the box, and then create a text field with certain fonts and sizes, won’t these be fixed? How can I make the text field grow and spin at the same rate as the box?
Thanks for your help!!!
-Matt
