How exactly does the movieclip.transform.matrix.rotate work?
I mean, if the movieclip is at 0,0, the movieclip.transform.matrix.rotate will rotate the movieclip with 0,0 as it’s pivot… but i dont get it’s behavior if the movieclip is not at 0,0. for example:
var example_mc = new MovieClip();
addChild(example_mc);
example_mc.x = 275;
example_mc.y = 200;
var mtrx = example_mc.transform.matrix;
mtrx.rotate(deg2rad(90));
example_mc.transform.matrix = mtrx;
(deg2rad is a function that converts degrees to radians)
after this code, example_mc.x becomes -200, and example_mc.y becomes 275. Can you explain (with some math perhaps) how the movieclip was rotated? Apparently… the movieclip isn’t being rotated at the point (275,200)…
