swfdisplayitem->rotateto() set the current object rotation to angle degrees in global coordinates.

The object may be a swfshape(), a swfbutton(), a swftext() or a swfsprite() object. It must have been added using the swfmovie->add().

Return Values

No value is returned.

Examples

This example bring three rotating string from the background to the foreground. Pretty nice.

Example 1. swfdisplayitem->rotateto() example

<?php
$thetext =  "ming!";

$f = new SWFFont("Bauhaus 93.fdb");

$m = new SWFMovie();
$m->setRate(24.0);
$m->setDimension(2400, 1600);
$m->setBackground(0xff, 0xff, 0xff);

// functions with huge numbers of arbitrary
// arguments are always a good idea!  Really!

function text($r, $g, $b, $a, $rot, $x, $y, $scale, $string)
{
  global $f, $m;

  $t = new SWFText();
  $t->setFont($f);
  $t->setColor($r, $g, $b, $a);
  $t->setHeight(960);
  $t->moveTo(-($f->getWidth($string))/2, $f->getAscent()/2);
  $t->addString($string);

  // we can add properties just like a normal PHP var,
  // as long as the names aren't already used.
  // e.g., we can't set $i->scale, because that's a function

  $i = $m->add($t);
  $i->x = $x;
  $i->y = $y;
  $i->rot = $rot;
  $i->s = $scale;
  $i->rotateTo($rot);
  $i->scale($scale, $scale);

  // but the changes are local to the function, so we have to
  // return the changed object.  kinda weird..

  return $i;
}

function step($i)
{
  $oldrot = $i->rot;
  $i->rot = 19*$i->rot/20;
  $i->x = (19*$i->x + 1200)/20;
  $i->y = (19*$i->y + 800)/20;
  $i->s = (19*$i->s + 1.0)/20;

  $i->rotateTo($i->rot);
  $i->scaleTo($i->s, $i->s);
  $i->moveTo($i->x, $i->y);

  return $i;
}

// see?  it sure paid off in legibility:

$i1 = text(0xff, 0x33, 0x33, 0xff, 900, 1200, 800, 0.03, $thetext);
$i2 = text(0x00, 0x33, 0xff, 0x7f, -560, 1200, 800, 0.04, $thetext);
$i3 = text(0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x9f, 180, 1200, 800, 0.001, $thetext);

for ($i=1; $i<=100; ++$i) {
  $i1 = step($i1);
  $i2 = step($i2);
  $i3 = step($i3);

  $m->nextFrame();
}

header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
$m->output();
?>
