Got it now! Thanks so much for posting the code snippet.

Hi Jack and adev2, I am facing the same problem. I want a card flip animation for a Flex mobile app I'm building, similar to what is shown here - http://www.snorkl.tv/2010/12/easy-breezy-3d-card-flip-effect-with-flash-as3-and-our-good-buddy-timelinemax/ I became a club member hoping transformAroundCenter or Tween3D will do the task for me. But now, I learn about this bug in Flex SDK regarding getRelativeMatrix3D API. I tried doing what adev2 has suggested (wrapping in UIComponent, and adding that to mx:Canvas). However, mx:Canvas is not available for Flex mobile apps and so I cannot take this approach. I also tried the method suggested by Jack earlier in this thread: "If you want to get a similar effect that could work in 3D, you should wrap your object in a Sprite (or UIComponent I suppose if you're working in Flex) and offset its x/y so that the container's registration point is in the center. Then you tween the container instead of the original object." I'm not getting this right. I'm missing something basic (like - what is the meaning of 'wrap' your object in UIComponent? Does it mean I make my component a child of UIComponent? Or I have my component as a delegate object within a UIComponent and handle all public methods?). I tried making the component a child of UIComponent, and then applying the tweens. It's not working. It will be great if you can elaborate on this method, or point me to some page on the web, or show some code that will illustrate the method in broad strokes. Thanks a lot for your support. Appreciate your work! Regards, Deepak.
