Since I just butted my head up against this, I thought I'd share this with everyone:
the .width and .height properties of a sprite on stage are of the un-rotated image. If you need the real 'width' of the rotated sprite, you have to do the math your self, subtracting the left from right, etc. Below is an example, of a long "menubar" shaped sprite, which when rotated 45 and then 90 degrees, still reports the width and height that the unrotate image had. Only stumped me for a day or two of heavy trigonometry. -- Welcome to Director -- put sprite(1).rect -- rect(237, 229, 680, 265) put sprite(1).width, sprite(1).height -- 443 36 put sprite(1).rotation -- 0.0000 sprite(1).rotation = 45 put sprite(1).rotation -- 45.0000 put sprite(1).rect -- rect(289, 78, 628, 417) put sprite(1).width, sprite(1).height -- 443 36 sprite(1).rotation = 90 put sprite(1).rotation -- 90.0000 put sprite(1).rect -- rect(439, 26, 477, 469) put sprite(1).left, sprite(1).top, sprite(1).right, sprite(1).bottom -- 439 26 477 469 put sprite(1).width, sprite(1).height -- 443 36 sprite(1).width = sprite(1).width * 0.25 put sprite(1).rect -- rect(440, 191, 476, 303) sprite(1).height = sprite(1).height * 0.25 put sprite(1).rect -- rect(454, 191, 463, 303) Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go call my highschool trig teacher and tell her that I lowe her. roymeo ----- Roy Crisman Senior Macromedia Programmer (585)724-4054 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
