Hi All,

I’m new to actionscript 3. Currently i stuck with a project in which a 3d model has to rotate according to mouse movement (at least 180’). if i click at any point of the model a popup should come which should store my input data with appropriate location where i clicked(x, y and z). I browse through the net and came to know about swift 3d, papervision etc.

Please help me out how to start with this project.

1. How can i import a 3d model into flash
2. How to make it move according to the mouse moment
3. How to calculate the x, y , z position of the 3d model on mouse click.

Regards,
