3-D
So your interested in incorporating 3-D elements into your animation?
Hmmm. First let me start by saying that Flash is a 2-D application, any
3-D elements which you may have seen floating around the Web were originally
created in a separate application, then imported into Flash as 2-D elements,
then painstakingly animated using the old "frame-by-frame" technique.
There are a number of ways to go about generating 3-D elements for use
in your animation - but before going into great detail on how to do this,
I recommend that you first gain a thorough understanding of basic flash
concepts, once you have mastered the basics, since achieving 3-D in Flash
is really a combination of a number of basic Flash functions which simulte
the apperence of #-d elements.
Check out Chapter 11: Advanced Techniques
to learn how to generate 3-D elements in Flash.
