How can I rotate an active picture?

[Grafer]

Hello. I've created a simple active object that was supposed to be my "floor". I wanted to rotate it but unfortunately, the rotation option is disabled. What's wrong? How can I rotate an active picture? (Or should I choose something else but active picture?)

You say you created an Active Object, but want to rotate an Active Picture.
The Active picture has it's own rotation actions in the Event editor.
The Active Object can be rotated using the Angle parameter, and also the Angle actions in the event editor.

If you want to just rotate an active object once, and keep that angle, you can also just rotate it in the animation editor.

I'm sorry. I've created an active picture. My bad.
So I can rotate active picture only via Event Editor?

Ok, I reimported my file as Active Object now, and I can control the rotation. It is weird, tho, that you cannot control Active Picture rotation.

Thanks for your help

IIRC active picture was developed before rotating actives was implemented. You could add angles to your animations but couldn't rotate it. So I guess active picture has been superseded in that respect. It still has some nice features over active objects though.
