Hi all, Okay what I want to make it this: [http://www.etsy.com/time\_machine.php#goods](http://www.etsy.com/time_machine.php#goods) What I have come up with so far is this: [http://www.devincheevers.com/3D/click\_zoom.html](http://www.devincheevers.com/3D/click_zoom.html) The problem with mine is that it draws all the ‘items’ at once where as the [etsy.com](http://etsy.com) one only draw a certain amount and then wait till you zoom in to draw the rest. Any idea on how to do this? ---

I see you wrote a new threat. [http://www.devincheevers.com/3D/click\_zoom.html](http://www.devincheevers.com/3D/click_zoom.html) is now with 3 grey circles. I thought you had the whole sprial thing goin on already , but with red squares. Anyway, why dont you share the .fla. this is way to hard to help you out ---

[http://www.devincheevers.com/share/spiral-share.fla](http://www.devincheevers.com/share/spiral-share.fla) [http://www.devincheevers.com/share/spiral-share-mx2004.fla](http://www.devincheevers.com/share/spiral-share-mx2004.fla) Hopefully we can get that a bit more ‘[etsy](http://www.etsy.com/time_machine.php#goods)’ like 😉 What I mean by that is mine is just adding the items in a circle pattern then adjusting there z value to give the effect of depth. But on [etsy.com](http://www.etsy.com/time_machine.php#goods) it seems to be more of a proper spiral! ---

Anyway, why dont you share the .fla. this is way to hard to help you out Just click on the second circle from the top ‘2222’ it then downloads the image paths from a database and loads them in. That was the whole point of trying to create this spiral effect! ---
