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
