Can I rotate an object on the x or Y axis?

Hi

I wanted to know if it is possible to Rotate a sprite on the X or Y axis.

What I mean is lets say I have a square picture as a sprite. I want to rotate it as though like the earth spinning on its axis, so that after 1/2 rotation I see the "back" and after 1 full rotation I see the front again.

Basically like this sample gif below but without using a GIF on animations. I know I can use "Rotate" but I want to know if SPINNING is possible without animations.

Fantastic. Thanks so much. Exactly what I wanted and so fast too.

Now I'm cooking.

I'm looking at making a Carousel like selector with images a-la-Itunes.

This will be a great help for me.

Just another quick Q.

If I was using say 10 images, all same size, do I have to have 10 different sprites or can I use a single sprite and change the image at runtime?

I guess I have to have different sprites, one for each image?

look at r0j0's post http://www.scirra.com/forum/3d-carousel_topic47038.html

For your question you better use the same object, if you want other images to show up, just add animation frames, set the animation speed to 0 and then change the initial frame in properties.

Cool. Nice example. I must dissect the event sheet to see how he is doing what he is doing. Thanks again.
