API is an acronym that stands for Application Programming Interface… cause you know, in most compiled languages, the interface is drawn by code, not just drawn as in flash or visual basic… lots of (3d) graphics are also api drawn… cheers=) :A+: ![](http://www.flashdevils.com/~ahmed/hmed.gif) ---

ok, tnx ahmed…how do i make 3d graphics using uhm, API? teach me! ---

lol. It’s a pretty extensive learning process. The real tricks with 3d point to point line creation are perspective distortions, and rotation of the world or the viewer. I’m still just getting into the whole thing myself, but I’ve been studying it for a year or so now. :\ A good background in mathematics is key. Once you’ve got an understanding of formulae, it’s just a matter of fitting stuff together. I have no math skillz at all. What experience level are you at in Flash, and in math? ---

Right on the dot David… But… it’s really not too difficult… I’d have to sya… Level Geometry and about a good solid knowledge of Flash would do it… Wouldn’t you say so… It would be more sin, cos than anything like… Calculus wise… Still… it’s not simple… Cause you can make a 3D drawer… But will it be optimized fast enough to run on a decent puter? Ah hah… 🙂 Anyways… I don’t think this post made any sense… Therefore I’m going to lay down in a pile of slamon… Roll around a bunch of times and make weird noises… 🙂 ---

hey ahmed…in your location…are you saying Ont, Can is an infinite for loop? i liv here and i was led to believe it was an infinite while loop!! What is this about a for loop? as Phil would say “enquiring minds wanna know” 😛 Cheers 😛 \*said like Kirupa :ub: " ---

i dunno for me it seems like a while-loop province…especially ottawa or maybe an if loop edit: what i mean is if its election time, they bull\*\*\*\* about helping improve our economy/province else sit around and do nothing …get my drift? ---
