Re: FLASH: Graphics 'wilting'

[Helen Triolo]

I bet you're right, Catherine, about the rotating causing the problem (I

guess the combination of rotating and masking would make it look like

it's wilting instead of just shrinking, which is what rotate does --

yes, it's a bug).  Anyway, if that's the problem (mc shrinking when

rotated), the fix is just to add an extra 2 lines to set xscale and

yscale back to 100 after doing the rotate.


Regards,

Helen
