3D Rotate Tool : setImage() example

Filed under: 3D Rotate Tool, Examples — Matus @ 2:00 pm

With 3D Rotate Tool v.4.3.5 you can make use of the new setImage() function. By calling it from your application you display any image of the Rotate Tool Image sequence. For now, only a “quick jump” functionality is implemented. Later a smooth “scroll” to the new image will be added.

Also in this example the rotateTool instance dispatches an event, after all images are loaded. When this happens, the buttons “show front” and  ”show back” are displayed.  You can use this event to trigger any other actions in your flash project.

3D Rotate Tool v. 4.3.5 released

Filed under: 3D Rotate Tool, Software updates — Matus @ 12:58 pm

Version 4.3.5. of the tool was released. There are two updates:

1. Support for swf images added. Now you can use transparent images. Using png images worked also before, but the compression of png images is much lower then the compression of a swf image file.

2. You can use actionscript API rotateTool.setImage(x) to make the tool display a certain image.
