FLASH: rotation bug?

[Laurens van Klaveren]

Hi all,


I was just playing around a bit with my new Flash 4, when I discovered

something strange:


I made a simple bouncing-and-rotating image: _x, _y and _rotation properties

are changed every frame by adding dx, dy and rotation values to them. When

the image bounces against one of the edges of the screen, the dx or dy in

question becomes -dx or -dy, and rotation becomes -rotation.


Probably sounds more difficult than it is. Just check this url to see it:

The strange thing is that the actual image is shrinking in size, more and

more as time passes (you can start to notice it after about 30 seconds,

after a few minutes it's very obvious).


When I turn off the rotation, this doesn't happen.


I added textfields for the _width, _height and _rotation properties, so you

can see that x and y really get smaller (don't mind the strange flickering

of all kinds of numbers, it's because the bounding rectangle changes shape

and size when the image rotates; generally, the numbers get smaller, that's

what you DO see, and what it's all about)


Did any of you see this before? Is there a workaround? Is this a known bug?


Thanks for your time,


Laurens.
