Record simple rotate of object on Z axis Options

Hi,
Using CS4. Is it possible to automatically record an object
turning
360 on the Z axis? At the moment, I am turning the object a
couple of
degrees (using 3d Rotation tool), pressing Insert Keyframe,
then
turning the object a little bit more, then Insert Keyframe
again, etc.
But it's just a simple 360 rotation - it must be possible to
do this
automatically?
Thanks.

Well, I'm getting closer but I'm not there yet.
I found out how to use this expression which seems to do what I want but only for a single object sway. If I could randomize this and put it on all of the items it would be pretty close. Here's the expression:
Math.sin(time*2)*1;
This has two problems. First it appears to start swaying at the begining of the comp instead of the comp starting with the object already swaying. I might be wrong on this.
The other problem I already mentioned. I don't know how to randomize this so each additional object has a random sway. I at least found out how to attach the stay to a slider:
Math.sin(time*2)*thisComp.layer("new slider control").effect("SwayAmmount")("Slider");
I am able to set the slider at 1 and then to stop it I set it to 0. I don't think this has a real ease or inertia, but it's ok I guess.
But again, no random options. I've searched high and low to understand the random function. I found: "random()" but I need it to freeze at a random number. I found "seedRandom(x,true)" but all directions I can find for that talk only about possition in the comp. I've given up trying to translate this from position.
Here's the closest I've come, but honestly I'm not even sure that it's a real function...
seedRandom(3,true);
RanNum = random(-2,4)
Math.sin(time*(RanNum))*thisComp.layer("new slider control").effect("SwayAmmount")("Slider");
This again links to the slider. It DOES randomize somewhat and is better than nothing. But surely there is a "correct" way which I am completely overlooking. Using this method all layers sway left to right (fairly similarlily). I would love to have some begin right to left, random...
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Javascript function to rotate an object around its axis

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to rotate an object around its axis (eg 45 ° rotation)?
I want to make this rotation with a button and a Javascript code!
Is it possible? if so, have a track for me to start?
thank you

Possible, yes - but you will need some basic knowledge of how 3D matrix transformations work if you want to do anything complex.
The code to rotate a node in a 3D scene by 45 degrees on the X axis is
myNode.transform.rotateAboutXInPlace(Math.PI/4)

Rotate a Object Around Center Axis

Hey peoples, new to flash here. I'm using CS3 with ActionScript 3.0. What I want is simple, and I've done some searching but nothing that can get me the right results. I'm going to post a link that does exactly what I want:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/d25a3dd46f2ff49f2ec892c425cbbd1e
This rotates the circular object around a center point in a way that you can distort the object yet is still remains turning in a circular motion. A simple motion tween rotating the image will only work if the object is perfectly round, so distorting the object to make it more straight or curved won't work with a simple tween. I want to do exactly what is happening here (with my own object), is there some AS3 behind the scenes here making this turn on a center point?? Thanks for the help

Yes, but I still don't know what you mean by the parent child relationship. Lets say I use a simple rotate line like:
objectname.rotation = 360;
That should spin it, but how do I spin it correctly if the object is skewed like in the bottom right picture of my example?

CS6 - Is it possible to rotate multiple objects independent of one another?

CS6 - Is it possible to rotate multiple objects independent of one another? In other words selecting say 9 object in a grid then rotating the all 30 degrees on their own axis.

I forgot Transform > Again won't rotate each layer about its own centre.
It can be done, though. Record an Action of a layer being rotated and followed by Opt+] or Alt+] to target next layer. It should look like the screenshot below. Use it by first running it on the lowest target layer in the stack then running however many more times is required.

Rotating an object about a specific point!

Hello Guys!
Have a new Problem!
I want to rotate an object about a specific point. But up to now i only can rotate something about the x,y,z axis!
Is this possible to rotate a scene about the point 1,1,1?
Transform3D rotation = new Transform3D();
rotation.setRotation(new AxisAngle4d(-x, -y, 0,((Math.PI / 2) - angle)));
I don't handle it with Alpha because i needn't an animation!
Please help me!

Hello,
to rotate an Object A about the Point P you have to do the following:
1. Get the Transform T which transforms P to Point (0,0,0)
2. Apply T on A
3. Rotate A (around (0,0,0))
4. Transform A with the inverse of T

Snap rotate an Object by 60 degrees around a selected point?

Hello,
I am looking for a simple and precise way to rotate and copy an object at precisely 60 degree increments around a preselected point that is NOT the middle of the object.
To restate: I want to be able to have all my objects at precise angles and be rotating around a selected pre-chosen point.
I have tried many different ways with no luck.
Can anyone help a noob?
Dave-o

I just checked the Download-able Help PDF (the Illustrator CS4 Online manual) and it is indeed documented under "Rotate an object by a specific angle" Unfortunately, it does not jump out off the screen.
I understand why they don't ship manuals to reduce cost and keep a greener footprint, but I really miss them especially when you pay $500+ for a software suite. Next time I will RTFOLM! :-)
Thanks again Scott

Hi All,
I want to move the rotated shape object based on the mouse movement
m able to move the object which is not rotated, but m facing the problem when i move the rotated object its moving position is not correct . I am expecting to maintain both shape objects movement is same, i mean if i did mouse movement to right rotated object moves upwards and normal object moves towards right insted of moving both r moving towards to right.
Pls help me
the following code is m using to moving the object

Keep the record in the view object if deletion failed.

I have a view object which is based on the entity object, when I am trying to delete a row it failed because it has a child record associate with. I know the row is not delete from the database, but the record is deleted fromt the view.
How to keep the record in the View object if delete failed?

Hi,
the row is not delete from the database,refresh the view . re-execute query and the view show the row

Thought I knew Adobe...but can't figure out how to rotate an object in AdobeMUSE. Help?

I can't figure out how to rotate an object in Adobe Muse. I want an object to be half a bubble off plumb.

Hi ,
You can rotate an object in Muse by using the Transform toolbar and selecting the rotation angle. Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vtux
However, if you want to create a circular looking object , then all you need to do is, set the corners as Rounded, Make the Height and Width Equal and then increase the corner radius. This would give you the desired result.
Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/52vu9n
Hope this helps

Swinging/Rotating an object in AE 5.5

Hi all,
I have a question about something that I am trying to achieve in AE5,5.
I have a clip that I would like to 'rotate' into the frame and was wondering how I could do this. If I might explain:
If you can imagine the action of a clapperboard, you might have an idea of the effect I'm trying to attain.Essentially, I'd like the clip to start offscreen on the right hand side of the frame, At this point, the clip would be rotated 90 degree clockwise. Over the a next couple of seconds, I'd like it to 'crash' down into the frame, rotating around the lower, right corner so that it ends up filling the frame and the correct way up :-). I thought it would be fairly easy to do this with a few adjustments around the anchor points but I seem to be having no luck as whenever I move the anchor point, the entire clip seems to move rather than just adjusting the point at which I'd like it to rotate.
What am I missing??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sean

:-) Ah, I've been rumbled!! To be honest, I come from a straight video editing background and am just starting to get to grips with AE. I have just cracked open the Classroom-In-A-Book this week and (naively) thought that it might be something I could achieve simply by changing the anchor point from which to rotate the object around. Seems like I was slightly off track - maybe I should have perservered with the book before I tried!
Many thanks for the replies - I will certainly have a look at the blog post you mentioned and will see how I get on. From what I've seen so far, AE looks like it's going to be keep me occupied for many, many months to come. I'm looking forward to it!
thanks again,
Sean

In Macromedia Flash8 we had an option insert timeline effects rotate. Do we have any option to rotate an object in Adobe Flash cs5 and above

in Macromedia Flash8 we had an option insert>timeline effects>rotate. Do we have any option to rotate an object in Adobe Flash cs5 and above.

You can also use the following:

2 Click on the last frame of the Motion tween and choose the desired Rotation settings from Properties panel.

Click, animate rotation of Object by +90° via AS3?

I have a button that will rotate an object in its parent by 90 degrees every time its clicked:
b_rotate_CW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateCW);
function rotateCW(event:MouseEvent):void
Object(this).parent.module.rotation += 90;
Which is fine, but I think it would be a nice touch if the object's rotation were animated.
I tried this:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
b_rotate_CW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateCW);
function rotateCW(event:MouseEvent):void
var rCW:Tween = new Tween(Object(this).parent.module, "rotate", Strong.easeOut, 0, +90, .5, true);
... but it does nothing at all, I am guessing that "rotate" is a property option, I can find no documentation for that, only x, y, their scale and alpha.
I'm sure this has been done by many, can anyone offer a helpful clue as to how this function would be properly coded?
Thanks!

Thats brilliant, I tweaked it a little; replaced the 0 with the current angle of the clip) and now it works perfectly:
var rCW:Tween;
b_rotate_CW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rotateCW);
function rotateCW(event:MouseEvent):void
rCW = new Tween(Object(this).parent.module, "rotation", Strong.easeOut, Object(this).parent.module.rotation, Object(this).parent.module.rotation+90, .5, true);
Who would have known you could use a target path in place of a value?
Where can everyone learn AS3 as you know it?
Thank you again for your immense help!

Difficulty rotating ms3d object in java 3d

ADF BC merge records of 2 view objects into third

jdev 11.1.1.4
Hi,
1) how to merge records of 2 view objects into third view object?
2) how to search inside view object whether the record already exists?
I want to do this in AMImpl programmatically.

hi I find that I can use something as below but it will check for each row at a time.
String exp = "student_id=" + "'" + studentId.getValue() + "'" + " and " +
"pass_word=" + "'" + password.getValue() + "'";
vo.setWhereClause(exp);
so if there are 10 records(to compare) i have to loop it 10 times(with company id and order id in exp) which i will be getting from some view.
and have to execute query 10 times so i don't think this is a efficient approach.
