A ColorTransform object containing values that universally adjust the colors in the display object.

See also

A ColorTransform object representing the combined color transformations applied to the display object and all of its parent objects, back to the root level. If different color transformations have been applied at different levels, all of those transformations are concatenated into one ColorTransform object for this property.

A Matrix object representing the combined transformation matrixes of the display object and all of its parent objects, back to the root level. If different transformation matrixes have been applied at different levels, all of those matrixes are concatenated into one matrix for this property. Also, for resizeable SWF content running in the browser, this property factors in the difference between stage coordinates and window coordinates due to window resizing. Thus, the property converts local coordinates to window coordinates, which may not be the same coordinate space as that of the Stage.

A Matrix object containing values that alter the scaling, rotation, and translation of the display object.

If the matrix property is set to a value (not null), the matrix3D property is null. And if the matrix3D property is set to a value (not null), the matrix property is null.

Provides access to the Matrix3D object of a three-dimensional display object. The Matrix3D object represents a transformation matrix that determines the display object's position and orientation. A Matrix3D object can also perform perspective projection.

If the matrix property is set to a value (not null), the matrix3D property is null. And if the matrix3D property is set to a value (not null), the matrix property is null.

See also

Provides access to the PerspectiveProjection object of a three-dimensional display object. The PerspectiveProjection object can be used to modify the perspective transformation of the stage or to assign a perspective transformation to all the three-dimensional children of a display object.

Based on the field of view and aspect ratio (dimensions) of the stage, a default PerspectiveProjection object is assigned to the root object.

See also

A Rectangle object that defines the bounding rectangle of the display object on the stage.

Returns a Matrix3D object, which can transform the space of a specified display object in relation to the current display object's space. You can use the getRelativeMatrix3D() method to move one three-dimensional display object relative to another three-dimensional display object.

Parameters

See also

1. The TransformExample() constructor creates a new sprite object target.
2. The TransformExample() constructor calls the draw() method, which draws a gradient square in the sprite.
3. The TransformExample() constructor adds a click event listener for the sprite, which is handled by the clickHandler() method.
4. The clickHandler() method creates a new Matrix object, skewMatrix, which is set to apply a skew effect. Another matrix, tempMatrix, is assigned to the current transformation matrix of the sprite, and then is combined with skewMatrix using the concat() method. This matrix is assigned to the transform.matrix property of the square sprite. Each time the user clicks the square, the call to the clickHandler() modifies the shape of the square by skewing it.
5. Additionally, the clickHandler() method creates a new ColorTransform object. The redOffset property of the new ColorTransform is set to the current value of redOffset and increased by 25. Likewise, the blueOffset property is reduced by 25. With each click, the colors of the sprite change.
