I do a lot of AS2 scripting, but we have a project coming in that will require some interactivity with a 3D animation. I need to know if what we have in mind is doable with AS3.

We’re showing hurricane damage to an office tower, where the intent is to have a 3D model generated from 3DS Max, that can be interactively rotated and zoomed-in on. Then when a damage area is clicked on, a photo showing damage detail fills the screen. Click to close the photo, then continue rotating and/or zooming in to show further damage areas.

Is something like this feasible with AS3? How difficult would the scripting be for someone who hasn’t worked in AS3 at all?
