Flex Examples

The following example shows how you can rotate a Flex Image control along its x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis using the new rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ properties in Flash Player 10 and Flex “Gumbo”.

Full code after the jump.

To use the following code, you must have Flash Player 10 and a Flex Gumbo SDK installed in your Flex Builder 3. For more information on downloading and installing the Gumbo SDK into Flex Builder 3, see “Using the beta Gumbo SDK in Flex Builder 3″.
