Flex - Move3D Effect

Quiz

Introduction

The Move3D class moves a target object in the x, y, and z dimensions. The x, y, and z property specifications of the Move3D effect specify the change in x, y, and z that should occur to the transform center around which the overall transform effect occurs.

Class Declaration

Following is the declaration for spark.effects.Move3D class −

public class Move3D
   extends AnimateTransform3D

Public Properties

Sr.No	Property & Description
1	xBy : Number Number of pixels by which to modify the x position of the target.
2	xFrom : Number Initial x position of the target, in pixels.
3	xTo : Number Final x, in pixels.
4	yBy : Number Number of pixels by which to modify the y position of the target.
5	yFrom : Number Initial y position of the target, in pixels.
6	yTo : Number Final y position of the target, in pixels.
7	zBy : Number Number of pixels by which to modify the z position of the target.

Flex Move3D Effect Example

Let us follow the following steps to check usage of Move3D Effect in a Flex application by creating a test application −

Step	Description
1	Create a project with a name HelloWorld under a package com.tutorialspoint.client as explained in the Flex - Create Application chapter.
2	Modify HelloWorld.mxml as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged.
3	Compile and run the application to make sure business logic is working as per the requirements.

Following is the content of the modified mxml file src/com.tutorialspoint/HelloWorld.mxml.

Once you are ready with all the changes done, let us compile and run the application in normal mode as we did in Flex - Create Application chapter. If everything is fine with your application, it will produce the following result: [ Try it online ]
