MirrorImageAnim

Package:
Class:
Inheritance:
biz.flashscript.animation
public class MirrorImageAnim
Sprite
The MirrorImageAnim class is used to create realistic reflection images of objects. When used in conjunction with dragging objects the mirror image will move with the objects. The difference to the MirrorImage class is that animated objects can be reflected and the animation will be reflected in this case. To create an instance of the MirrorImageAnim use the constructor new MirrorImageAnim() to create an instance of the class and add parameters as desired.

Constructor Detail
MirrorImageAnim ()  Constructor
public function MirrorImageAnim()
Intializes a new MirrorImageAnim instance.
Method Detail

setBitmap()  method
public function setBitmap(origClip:MovieClip, _alpha:Number=1, distance:int=0, blurX:int=5, blurY:int=5, haveMask:MovieClip=null):void

This method will initiate the mirror image methods.

Parameters

  • origClip:MovieClip ____ Specifies the MovieClip to create a mirror image from.
  • _alpha:Number=1 ____ Allows to reduce the alpha value further.
  • distance:int=0 ____ Specifies the distance of the mirror image from the MovieClip .
  • blurX:int=5 ____ Specifies the amount of x blurring.
  • blurY:int=5 ____ Specifies the amount of y blurring.
  • haveMask:MovieClip=null ____ Specifies whether the mirror image should be on a separate MovieClip using a mask.
Examples
Create a new fla file and name it MirrorImageAnimExample.fla. Place the fla in the same folder as the biz folder. Create an animated MovieClip and place it on the timeline. Give the name mc. Then create an Actionscript file, name it MirrorImageAnimExample.as and place this script.
