Tween bmp transformation

[digitalpencil]

Hi,

I've been attempting to create a flash app that can tween bmp tranformations using the skewedmoveclip.as class
I've so far managaed to get Flash to skew a rectangular image with the following code:

#include "SkewedMovieClip.as"

var rad = (Math.PI/180);
//
squareMC.setSkew(null, 0*rad);
trace([squareMC._xskew/rad, squareMC._yskew/rad]);
squareMC._yskew = -10*rad;
trace([squareMC._xskew/rad, squareMC._yskew/rad]);
//
squareMC.setSkew(0*rad, undefined);
trace([squareMC._xskew/rad, squareMC._yskew/rad]);
squareMC._xskew = 0*rad;
trace([squareMC._xskew/rad, squareMC._yskew/rad]);

This is working well however, I would like for the transformation to be tweened from a rectangle, to the skewed result.

I'm not sure this is possible with skewedmoveclip.as but if anyone knows how using this class or the sandy distordimage class (or any other methods, fuse etc) then i'd be grateful for the advice.

The following example shows what I'm attempting to do:

You may want to experiment with interval - on each interval increase the skew value.

It is intended to be a movie with several, simultaneous skewing mcs so I don't think intervals will help much.
Know anything about the transformation matrix? I think this should be able to do what I need but it's pretty confusing.. lol.. what isn't.

You can use Matrix to skew your MovieClip but still it won't animate it. It's the same as what you have now.

> I don't think intervals will help much.

Why? In order to animate you have to use time based coding ( namely interval). If you don't want to use interval you can use "onEnterFrame" or custom tween classes available (but then they use interval/onEnterFrame internally anyway.)

Thanks,
will give that a go then. just figured there be a specific way of doing this, might hav a more in-depth look at sandy, I think this should be able to animate the skewing tweens
