[f8] Line of site, raycasting and realistic visability

Bootiteq, you gave me an idea for a new way to fake it. This is is basically what I want, but I’d rather have it done with math and the draw api.

In this fake (attached), I have a movie clip that is the shadow and in it is a shape tween from what it would look like when you are far away to what it would look like if your up close. it then goes to and stops at whatever frame based on distance with the mouse and rotates accordingly aswell.

Hopefully I’ll be able to think of a better way, to do it without faking it… this is just a quick thing i threw together so its a bit crappy, I’d make a better version if I’ have to do it this way.

I did this fla on a mac, flash mx. hope theres no problem opening it on other systems
