Flash ActionScript Codes:

//Use ComboBox controls
import fl.controls.ComboBox;

//Add items to the ccwCombo
ccwCombo.addItem( {label: "true" } );
ccwCombo.addItem( {label: "false" } );

//Add items to the degreesCombo
degreesCombo.addItem( {label: "180" } );
degreesCombo.addItem( {label: "360" } );
degreesCombo.addItem( {label: "720" } );
degreesCombo.addItem( {label: "1080" } );

//Declare ccw
var ccwValue:Boolean;

//Declare degree
var degreesValue:int;

//import transition classes
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

/*
type -> Transition type
There are total 10 Transition type working with TransitionManager
They are:
Blinds, Fade, Fly, Iris, Photo,
Rotate, Squeeze, Wipe, PixelDissolve, Zoom
*/

/*
direction:Transition.IN -> Appear with Transition effect
direction:Transition.OUT -> Disppear with Transition effect
*/

/*
duration -> Time in seconds to finish the Transition effect
This is an integer
*/

/*
ccw -> counterclockwise rotation (either true or false)
false - clockwise rotation
true - counterclockwise rotation
*/

/*
degrees -> number of degree rotated
Proposed value: 1 - 9999
for example:
360 - 1 full rotation
720 - rotate twice
1080 - rotate three times
*/


enter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, runTransition);

 

function runTransition(evt:MouseEvent):void {

//ccw
if (ccwCombo.selectedIndex == 0) {
ccwValue = true;
} else if (ccwCombo.selectedIndex == 1) {
ccwValue = false;
}

//degrees
if (degreesCombo.selectedIndex == 0) {
degreesValue = 180;
} else if (degreesCombo.selectedIndex == 1) {
degreesValue = 360;
} else if (degreesCombo.selectedIndex == 2) {
degreesValue = 720;
} else if (degreesCombo.selectedIndex == 3) {
degreesValue = 1080;
}
//Start the TransitionManager
TransitionManager.start(island_mc, {
type: Rotate,
direction: Transition.IN,
duration: 3,
ccw: ccwValue,
degrees: degreesValue
}
);
}
