Matrices

just as the topics states, this is about matrices. in countless places (including ultrashock) i have seen 3d shapes drawn using 3 dimensional matrices…i dont know how this works. do you need any other porgram to do it? or can you just make a text file and make the matrix right there. more importantly, how do you do it? i would love to see a reply before i tear ALL my hair out

A matrix is just a mathematical object composed of rows and columns. There’s not a way to “do” them in Flash, there are just practical ways to represent and use them. The most practical way being multidimensionnal arrays (for obvious reasons once you’ve understood that a matrix is just a table of numbers).

If you really want to get into matrixes, be sure that you have a good level of maths, that you like linear algebra (not likely) and find a good site on the subject (you can try Brandon Williams’ tutorials, they are VERY good).
