DRAG AND ROTATION PHYSICS

michelsteege – ah, damn.

First, here’s the solution: If your custom shapes behave strangely when rotating, replace all the matrix operations in rotate() (lines 85-91) with this line:

_rotation += Math.atan2(projected, anchLength)*57.2957795;

Second, here’s the problem: There is some wierd edge cases with the matrix operations on some shapes. I couldn’t figure it out, but the workaround is simple – as stated above.

That line is in the the code, but commented out. I forgot to put it back in for my pentagons in this preview. Sorry.

Thus: if your custom shapes are dissapearing under some rotations, just replace the matrix code with the above line. I’ll update the file in a couple of days.

You can use any type of textfield, but if you need to rotate the text itself you must of course embedd the font.

The file, documentation and preview has been updated, so the pentagons and you own custom shapes should behave properly.

wildwise – thank you. I’ll have to contact support and have them re-evaluate the pricing. My ToolTip is the same price as this, but the effort involved is definetly not comparable.

cokimono – it’s just a movieclip. You can draw whatever you want in it.

geewizz – I’ve got your email and will get back to you shortly. Thanks!
