Observe–Understand–Innovate

Observe–Understand–Innovate
This is my method of approaching any learning situation. Far to many people are content to merely copy and replicate what they see around them but to truly be creative you must actually strive to improve what we work on.

Cool After Effects Tip

The beginning and end of the work area bar can be moved either with the cursor by clicking and dragging the and markers or using the keyboard. Pressing the “b” key on the keyboard moves the beginning of the work area bar to the current position of the playhead while pressing the “n” key on the keyboard moves the end of the bar to the playhead's current position.

3D rotation based on Mouse Position

var defRot:Number = 35;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, updateRot);

function updateRot(myEvent:MouseEvent):void {
if(mouseX > 300){
if(imageGallery_mc.rotationY >= defRot){
imageGallery_mc.rotationY = defRot;
}else{
imageGallery_mc.rotationY+= .5;
}
}
if(mouseX < 300){
if(imageGallery_mc.rotationY <= -defRot){
imageGallery_mc.rotationY = -defRot;
}else{
imageGallery_mc.rotationY-= .5;
}
}
if(mouseY > 240){
if(imageGallery_mc.rotationX >= defRot){
imageGallery_mc.rotationX = defRot;
}else{
imageGallery_mc.rotationX+= .5;
}
}
if(mouseY < 240){
if(imageGallery_mc.rotationX <= -defRot){
imageGallery_mc.rotationX = -defRot;
}else{
imageGallery_mc.rotationX-= .5;
}
}
}
