Example #1 swfdisplayitem::rotateto() example

<?php
$thetext 
=  "ming!";

$f = new SWFFont("Bauhaus 93.fdb");

$m = new SWFMovie();
$m->setRate(24.0);
$m->setDimension(24001600);
$m->setBackground(0xff0xff0xff);

// functions with huge numbers of arbitrary
// arguments are always a good idea!  Really!

function text($r$g$b$a$rot$x$y$scale$string
{
  global 
$f$m;

  
$t = new SWFText();

$t->setHeight(960);
  
$t->moveTo(-($f->getWidth($string))/2$f->getAscent()/2);
  
$t->addString($string);

  
// we can add properties just like a normal PHP var,
  // as long as the names aren't already used.
  // e.g., we can't set $i->scale, because that's a function

  
$i $m->add($t);
  
$i->$x;
  
$i->$y;
  
$i->rot $rot;
  
$i->$scale;
  
$i->rotateTo($rot);
  
$i->scale($scale$scale);

  
// but the changes are local to the function, so we have to
  // return the changed object.  kinda weird..

  
return $i;
}

function 
step($i
{
