Re: Rotate Graphic Image Smoothly?
Rick, Is there a way to SMOOTHLY rotate a graphical image around it's center point in Rev? If so, then how could I make this image do this on the web? Do I need to create it as an animated .gif file, or is there a better way? If your ultimate objective is to have a smoothly rotating graphic on the web, than Rev is probably not the best tool for this. The smoothest-appearing option would be something in Flash format. An animated GIF can also work well if the dimensions are small. I would recommend Xara Xtreme Pro (free trial version at xara.com) as a means to do either. You can do very simple Flash movies as well as GIF animations very easily, working with both vectors and bitmaps.

Xara is Windows only, but I'm sure others will find it useful. I have just never worked with Flash before. I guess I finally have a reason to work with it. Too many tools, so little time! Thanks!

The image is not transparent so that is not the issue. I want a smooth rotation not a choppy one that I seem to be getting. Yes I was using the set angle of the image, but as I said it seems choppy to me. Is there a better way or am I stuck?

The only two methods I know of to rotate images are via the angle property or the rotate command.

Is there a better way or am I stuck? --untested, just ideas to get you closer Make two images, one slightly (1/2 a degree) rotated from the first. step the rotation of each by 1 degree, hiding and showing each thus show grc verB --always, one layer behind --unless the rectangle is visible, etc. --added optional lines for using blendlevel transitions put 1 into cnt repeat for 360 times show grc verA --set the blendlevel of grc verB to 0 --wait 20 milliseconds --set the blendlevel of verA to 60 set the rotation of grc verB to 0+ cnt hide grc verA set the rotation of grc verA to 0+ cnt --set the blendlevel of grc verA to 0 --wait 20 milliseconds --set the blendlevel of grc verB to 60 add 1 to cnt end repeat Not the best solution Depending on the details of your app, you might consider a subStack with the windowshape set to a circle, which would clip the rectangle corners, or use maskData|alphaData to clip the rectangle corners Hope this helps Jim Ault Las Vegas ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Do I need to create it as an animated .gif file, or is there a better way? If you're going to continually rotate an image, the way to do this is to set the angle of the image, which keeps the image's data intact. Note that the results are poor with regard to any transparency in the image (such as antialiasing of the edges and internal transparency). I believe the alphaData of the image is mapped down to 1 bit which causes jagged aliasing to display wherever there is transparency. If you can use with non-transparent images in your project, one way you might be able to work around the edge problem is to have an opaque image with lots of white space around it, so that any aliasing of the edges is not visible simply by virtue of being off screen. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
