Spinning a disk, detecting mouse angle in AS3

August 12, 2008 at 2:58 pm · Filed under as3, code example / ejemplos de codigo

(This is a follow up on a previous Pivot rotation post i had)

Making an object’s rotation follow the mouse is easy enough, but it got a bit tricky when i wanted this rotation to be set only when i actually dragged the mouse around and not inmediatly on the mouse press. It would have saved me some time to have had this example online and i hope it does that for some people.

This class does that when given a MovieClip as a parameter. It broadcasts a couple of nice events to let you know when the rotation starts and ends. See the source file for an example.

Officially a (foreign) citizen

We Colombians are very un-welcomed inmigrants (or even just visiting tourists) all over the world. Fortunetely Argentina is (still) an exception to this rule and today i got my Argentina (foreigner) identity card.

Los Colombianos no somos bienvenidos como inmigrantes (o siquiera turistas) por todo el mundo. Afortunadamente Argentina es (todavia) la excepción a la regla y hoy recibi mi DNI (de extranjero).
