Does anyone know how the Michael’s code woulde be if the image had a bigger or smaller scale and a rotation angle?

to switch back and forth, use this:

function flipHorizontal(dsp:DisplayObject):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;
//matrix.a = -1;
matrix.a *= -1;
//matrix.tx = dsp.width + dsp.x;
matrix.tx = -matrix.a * dsp.width + dsp.x;
dsp.transform.matrix = matrix;
}

function flipVertical(dsp:DisplayObject):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = dsp.transform.matrix;
//matrix.d = -1;
matrix.d *= -1;
matrix.ty = -matrix.d * dsp.height + dsp.y;
//matrix.ty = dsp.height + dsp.y;
dsp.transform.matrix = matrix;
}

xleon,

Your method doesn’t work with video, while the others do.

Hi, I´m not sure what your code does, but I think it´s easier like this:

vertical:
dsp.scaleY = -dsp.scaleY;

horizontal:
dsp.scaleX = -dsp.scaleX;

Yes, otherwise the fonts aren’t eligible to be rasterized into bitmaps.

ah…
sorry
If you want to do something like flip with objects with text, you must use embed fonts.

Very nice example, but i have trouble:
when i’m trying to flip object with text (i.e. label, button) I don’t see text after flipping.
After appplying flip once more, text appear back.
Any suggestions ?
