Hi everyone,

Please help. I have script for a 3d Carousel everything works. But I want to get the images to stay facing the front.

I can change most things but am having trouble with getting the images front facing.

The property y.rotation I need to change is not in the same fuction as so I can't dinamically change the value using the eventlistner.

I have tried to do this but have had no success.

p.rotationY = 90; is the value I need to change dynamically but it is in the cacheimages section function initLoadCache(evt:Event):void. I need to be able to get this into the function render(e:Event):void from the addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, render); which is also in the function initLoadCache(evt:Event):void {

I think I can figure the rest out but need some help to figure this out.  

Script:

var cam:Camera3D;
var _numActiveImage:uint;
var p_link:Boolean;
var total:Number;
var url_thumb:Array;

var numOfRotations:Number = 1;
var yPos:Number;
yPos= 0;
var angle:Number;
angle= 0;
var angle2:Number;
angle2= 0;
var camX:Number;
