using: Cascades qml
I'm trying to make an image (animated) spin similar to a coin on its axle.

I'm using the RotateTransition but find that thier is no axle should i be adding TranslateTransition to make this work. see snipit of what I'm trying to do.

RotateTransition {
            toAngleZ: 0.00
            duration: 1000
            fromAngleZ: 0.0
        }

TranslateTransition {
            toX: 100.00
            duration: 1000
            fromX: 10.0
            toY: 0.0
            fromY: 0.0
        }

thanks in advance

Are you using one image or two for the coin?

Here is an example from the Developer Site

Button {
    text: "Click me"
    animations: [
        RotateTransition {
            id: rotateAnimation
            toAngleZ: 180
            duration: 3000
        }
    ]
    onClicked: {
        rotateAnimation.play();
    }
}

One image but will rotate left to right on its axel. I'm making more the one app spin or rotate that way. Ill try that out tonight but I believe that is just circle motion on the z axel. A senior developer told me cascades doesn't have yet but it can be done in QT.

I guess i was think something different then what you wanted.
Is this how you want it to rotate?

if so this code should work

import bb.cascades 1.0
 
Page {
    content: Button {
        id: rotatingButton
        text: "My Rotating Button"
        animations: [
            RotateTransition {           
                id: rotButton
                toAngleZ: 360
                duration: 350
            }
        ]
        onClicked: {
            rotButton.play();
        }
    }
}

it would be hard to have it spin in that direction unless you don't want it to look 3D, and you would need two images.

are you having the user interact with the coin?

there are two other ways to do it
1- wait till they release the next beta SDK because there is animated GIF's (more for if you don't have the user interact with the coin, unless there will be a function to stop playing the gif)
2- use openGL (since you are newer to developing this might take longer to do)

Okay your right I'm going to have to wait till after bbjam maybe it will be out then..thanks for the help. Open to will be to much for me to handle.
