Hi
Does anyone know how to create a perfect isometric cube in flash? Or know of a tutorial?
cheers

isometrics is based on 30 degree angles and lacks depth perspective. So all you need to do is make a line to represent the size of your cube (vertically). Duplicate it once, rotate it 60 degrees (90 degrees -30) and drag it to the end of the original line and snap it to connect. Now you have this V like shape which represents 2 edges of your cube. Now, select both of those ‘edges’, duplicate again and rotate that 180 degrees and attatch it the original, snapping the 2 ends of the 2 new edges to the ends of the orginal ones. Now you have a complete side of the cube! All you need now is 2 more. Select the side, duplicate it, rotate 60 degrees and snap it to the original (I believe this one would be the top) - now with that one still selected, duplicate again and rotate 120 degrees to get the other final side. If you had to reselect, then its 60 degrees again, but if you kept that side selected, it will be considered to be at 60 already making you rotate it another 60 to make 120. Drag and snap that final side into place and you have yourself a perfect isometric cube.
