Flash Video Tutorial – 3D in Flash CS4
Flash Tutorial November 13th, 2008In this tutorial, you'll learn all about the new 3D features included with Flash CS4. The latest release of Flash supports the ability to rotate and move flat objects (movie clips) around in 3D space. In the tutorial, you'll also learn how to animate the 3D rotation of an object using ActionScript's new rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ properties.
Here is the code for this tutorial:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotate3D); function rotate3D(e:Event):void { sof_mc.rotationX += 4; sof_mc.rotationY += 4; }

Great tutorial but :
3D Movie Clip on the stage is quite easy to understand, but have you tried to use a MovieClip ( named MC for example) with a 3d Movie Clip inside (named MC2). It’s hard to undestand because, if you move the MC on the stage, MC2 will change too !!. Actually, i don’t understand how to really control it. A tutorial ?
PS: sorry for my bad english, i’m french !!

Characters are possible. They’re a lot of work, but they’re possible. A 3D model is just a series of flat planes like the one you’re playing with here.

Very interesting stuff, and not too bad even for newbies. I am interested in developing a flash game (running on osx) designed to be controlled with the wii balance board. Are there any good examples of someone doing that out there?

Thanks for taking the time to put this up and including the bit about action script at the end. I dusted off some of my books to dig deeper into what’s possible with flash as a result. Having a great time and see a lot of possibilities. Your tutorial inspired that. So thanks again for taking the time to put it together
