SWFDisplayItem->rotateTo() — Rotates the object in global coordinates
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.
swfdisplayitem->rotateto() set the current object rotation to angle degrees in global coordinates.
The object may be a swfshape(), a swfbutton(), a swftext() or a swfsprite() object. It must have been added using the swfmovie->add().
No value is returned.
This example bring three rotating string from the background to the foreground. Pretty nice.
Example#1 swfdisplayitem->rotateto() example
<?php
$thetext = "ming!";
$f = new SWFFont("Bauhaus 93.fdb");
$m = new SWFMovie();
$m->setRate(24.0);
$m->setDimension(2400, 1600);
$m->setBackground(0xff, 0xff, 0xff);
// functions with huge numbers of arbitrary
// arguments are always a good idea! Really!
function text($r, $g, $b, $a, $rot, $x, $y, $scale, $string)
{
global $f, $m;
$t = new SWFText();
$t->setFont($f);
$t->setColor($r, $g, $b, $a);
$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 = $x;
$i->y = $y;
$i->rot = $rot;
$i->s = $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;
}

// see? it sure paid off in legibility:
