Greetz all!
I’m experimenting with Flash MX actionscript programming to give me a pseudo 3-D effect. The effect I’m talking about is what you get when you apply gradient color to the sides of a cube to approximate light reflecting off the surface.
As you turn the cube, the gradients move differently, depending on the facet’s location and ‘direction’.
In my 3-D Recreation Experiment, I’m using an ASP page for the Flash display. Flash checks ASP page for the latest position of the geometries, …
… then the ASP page can recalculate the new positions, or
… Flash can recalculate the new positions.
In the end, I should a page that allows multiple users to move 3-D blocks around a Flash page.
Has anyone done any tests on this? I’m pretty sure ASP calculations/PHP calculations are faster than Flash AS2.0 calculations, but that could be due to my experience …
Post your thoughts here. BTW: My webpage is at http://bluefugu.biz.tm so check it out
