I'm needing to find out what the angle is between perpendicular and the line described by (x,y) to Q. What angle is a? The reason is, I want to adjust the _rotation of a movieclip loaded so that _x = x and _y = y, to act as the following page mask. Cheers Jack 01:12, 27 Feb 2007 (NZST)

I realize this is still a work in progress, but are you planning on expanding the work to the other 3 corners? other languages such as hebrew and arabic, and chineese are read right to left, which would necessitate the page turning to be on the opposite corner(s)/edge. I typically turn pages from the bottom right, not the top right, so P would reside on line W in that case. if Y < .25(H), P resides on AB What about turning the page based on an entire edges as opposed to a corner? if Y is >.25 and < .75 then P = Q or something along those lines. --Phalseid 15:38, 23 Dec 2006 (NZST)

and a cousin to this, a flipchart.... ?--Phalseid 15:42, 23 Dec 2006 (NZST)

I just did the maths for the single condition, and Jack's combining the six page-fold directions into a single function which is being discussed here --Nad 21:19, 23 Dec 2006 (NZST)

okay, i'll shut up...--Phalseid 23:13, 23 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Excellent! now you gotta merge them all down to a single function with x,y params ;-) --Nad 18:21, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

Not yet. The onMouseMove function needs to stay doing that particular fold until it is past a certain point, rather than switching to the opposite side folding function. - Jack 18:32, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

It would be best to reduce to the single fold first because the functionality you're talking about implementing controls the folding --Nad 21:31, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

I've tested the html text in macromedia and they can rotate properly as long as the fonts are embedded - I haven't set font embedding up in our ming environment yet though, I'll have another look soon --Nad 15:37, 7 Dec 2006 (NZDT)

Looking good! --Rob 13:12, 23 Nov 2006 (NZDT)

That does the folding action all right :) (as you said) ... ta - Jack 19:44, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)

Actionscript looks pretty simple, strange way of typing variables, looks like they explicitly inherit from the type. Jack 15:38, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)

I found actionscript quite hard. You can have a look at some of my experiments here: User interface concepts --Rob 15:43, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)

Ouch! OK ... Ta ... I'm not going to be trying anything creative though, I'm just wanting to transition from one page to another at the mo, if I can do that I will be happy. Jack 15:49, 21 Nov 2006 (NZDT)

It looks worse than it is. The moveable panels are drawn by hand using a simple function. Perhaps you can use that as the base of the page turn type animation.
