ADOBE DIRECTOR 11.0 385 User Guide Property rotation Access get and set axisAngle get and set x axis get and set y axis get and set z axis get and set Description Default Script vector object describing the rotation (in degrees) of the transform with the value vector(xRotation, yRotation, zRotation).This value can vary because of the permissible types of transform operation. For example, translate followed by rotate gives a different value than rotate followed by translate, and the results can't be differentiated after the fact from the rotational information alone. vector (0,0,0) The rotate() and preRotate() methods are the preferred ways to modify a transform's orientation. Rotation is generally relative to the object's original orientation at the start of the movie. A list including a vector and a floating-point [vector value that describes this transform's rotation as (1.0000, an axis/angle pair. 0.0000, 0.0000) The vector represents the direction, and the A] angle represents the rotation around the vector. A vector representing the transform's canonical vector x-axis in transform space. Example: (1,0,0) transform.identity() transform.rotate(0,90,0)) put transform.xaxis --vector(0,0,-1) Canonical means reduced to the simplest possible mathematical expression. A vector representing the transform's canonical vector y-axis in transform space. Example: (0,1,0) transform.identity() transform.rotate(90,0,0) put transform.yaxis --vector(0,0,1) A vector representing the transform's canonical vector z-axis in transform space. Example: (0,0,1) transform.identity() transform.rotate(0,90,0) put transform.zaxis --vector(1,0,0) Transform methods Use the following methods to work with transforms:
