How to flip a flash animation?

[AndersonBrunozi]

Hi,

Is is possible to play a flash animation flipped (horizontally mirrored), when embed on a HTML page? If so, how can I do this, in IE?

Thanks.

Is this something that you want to happen by default, or is this effect
something that you want to be able to control?

In any case, you can flip a movieClip either vertically, or horizontally, by
changing the _xscale, or scaleX, or the _yscale, or scaleY, of the movieClip
from 1 to -1. So, this means that if your entire movie is inside a movieClip,
then you could flip that clip and your entire movie would then flip.

Is that what you had in mind?

Hi, Rob,

If I understand what you mean. I should set these vars while creating the
flash movie, right?

But that`s not exactly what I need, as I just get the .SWF made by someone
else, and display then on my application. So what I need is something more like
a param to the object tag or a javascript command that I could call from the
HTML page, and then it would display that .SWF flipped.

I'll try to explain why I need it.

I have an application that accepts various formats, including flash (SWF),
SVG, and static images. There is a requirement that the user should be able to
see the application through a telepromter (something like this
Loading Image...), and
that`s why I must provide an option for him to flip the images/clips. I`ve used
an embeddeb browser to display the SWF files. The flipping option has already
been implemented for all the other formats, including the content on the
embedded web browser that`s outside the flash plugin.

Now, that (hopefully) it`d become clearer. Is there a way to go around that?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I made a flash movieclip that can load another clip and display it flipped.

Now, I've got another question: Can I get the original size of the loaded
movieclip? If so, I think I could scale it to fit the loader clip.
Or, is there another way I can scale it to fit the loader movieclip without
knowing the loaded clip size?

Use the loader's complete event to call a function that reads the loaded clip's width and height, then you can change them.

Thanks rob.
I was looking for the same information and you provided me with the answer.
