InheritanceRotate Inheritance AnimateTransform Inheritance Animate Inheritance Effect Inheritance flash.events.EventDispatcher

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The Rotate effect rotates a target object in the x, y plane around the transform center.

If you specify any two of the angle values (angleFrom, angleTo, or angleBy), Flex calculates the third. If you specify all three, Flex ignores the angleBy value.

Like all AnimateTransform-based effects, this effect will only work on subclasses of UIComponent and GraphicElement, as these effects depend on specific transform functions in those classes.

MXML SyntaxexpandedHide MXML Syntax

The <s:Rotate> tag inherits all of the tag attributes of its of its superclass, and adds the following tag attributes:

  <s:Rotate
    id="ID"
    angleBy="val"
    angleFrom="val"
    angleTo="val"
   />

Property Detail
angleByproperty
public var angleBy:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

Degrees by which to rotate the target object. Value may be negative.

If the value of angleBy is negative, the target rotates in a counterclockwise direction. Otherwise, it rotates in clockwise direction. If you want the target to rotate multiple times, set this value to a large positive or small negative number.

angleFromproperty 
public var angleFrom:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The starting angle of rotation of the target object, in degrees. Valid values range from 0 to 360.

angleToproperty 
public var angleTo:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 4
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The ending angle of rotation of the target object, in degrees. Values can be either positive or negative.

If the value of angleTo is less than the value of angleFrom, the target rotates in a counterclockwise direction. Otherwise, it rotates in clockwise direction. If you want the target to rotate multiple times, set this value to a large positive or small negative number.
