3D Rotate Tool : Resize video tutorial

Filed under: 3D Rotate Tool, Examples — Matus @ 4:02 pm

Update: a better resize tutorial is now avaiable here: http://www.yofla.com/flash/3d-rotate/tutorials/blackDiamondResize.html

The design of the 3D Rotate tool allows to position the UI elements freely. The downside of this approach is that a swf published to a certain size can not be scaled using the width and height parameters in html code.
Watch this video tutorial which shows how the Deuter example was resized from 500×375px to 640×480 px size using Flash CS3. You can download the deuter backpack example here.

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.

You can download the example here: example_setImage.zip
