I’m looking to do a simple animation in Flash similar to a Rubik’s Cube shifting and turning. Each cube will need simple vector or bitmapped images as a textures.

I know there are a couple 3D tools for Flash that can handle something like this, but I have never done any 3D work inside Flash. Does anyone have any suggestions for a tool and tutorial to do something like this? As I have little time to do this, the simpler, the better 🙂

EDIT: To clarify, I’m specifically looking for something that handles this type of movement in Flash/Actionscript… not looking for something like Swift3D, etc.
