Question about composer

[cwhitney24]

I am new to using composer. I am learning about new things everything i open it up. My question...is it possible on the curve 8310 to create a svg that will allow the buttons to rotate around a center picture. Lets say like a black background, in the middle a stationary pic of the Steelers Superbowl trophy, then have like 4-6 buttons rotating around it when you scroll trough.

If this is possible and you know how to do it i would GREATLY appreciate any info you can give on teaching me to do this.

Ive been wondering the same thing on a Storm...I have a Theme I was working on where I was trying to use the SVG function of rotate but couldnt get it to work....has anyone had any luck here?

Actually if your trying to keep them all the icons on the screen as they rotate and you dont mind if they go upside down at the bottom I think I can help you with this one...

The one Ive been doing makes a huge circle I think Im just going outside the boundrys that a blackberry can handle...and I want my images to always face down so there easy to see...

If you want to send me your SVG code I can take a look at add the necessary code...however like the scroll codes its an animate transform function so you wont be able to do anything with it in composer but like Jscroll once you have a master made you can copy and paste with notepad...

Just whip up a layout and send it to me....dont need to see artwork, you can add that when Im done...I will play with it and send it back...I cant make any promises (I mostly do things for the storm, but the principal is the same)...

Curious if you got this to work right, been screwing around with the code myself, I can get it to work in one direction, but not the other, basically if you scroll one way, I can rotate it, but scroll back and it's all screwy, I was hoping KD might chime in on this because I think he is doing the same thing on one of his. I can just get a copy of the code that would be great if you got it working. I am pretty handy with understanding the code.

PM me if you need to.
