Appriciate your work…Please use this for toggle flip :

public function flipHorizontal(event:Event):void
{
var matrix:Matrix = selectedGraphic.transform.matrix;
trace(matrix.a);
if(matrix.a == 1)
{
matrix.a=-1;
}
else
{
matrix.a=1;
}

selectedGraphic.transform.matrix=matrix;
}

public function flipVertical(event:Event):void
{

var matrix:Matrix = selectedGraphic.transform.matrix;
if(matrix.d == 1)
{
matrix.d=-1;
}
else
{
matrix.d=1;
}

selectedGraphic.transform.matrix=matrix;
}

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

vertical:
dsp.scaleY = -dsp.scaleY;

horizontal:
dsp.scaleX = -dsp.scaleX;
