i’m not sure if this would be considered a _real_ 3d engine but it does have z-sorting. this is the first time i real appretiated the power of functions. without them, the AS would be over 500 lines long but it’s only 49 right now. here’s a link to the swf…[3d\_balls.swf](http://zylum1.tripod.com/3d_balls.html)
it uses my _patented_ circular motion. the balls are all duplicates of one ball and a function is applyed to them to convert the three imaginary coordinates (x,y,z) into two coordinates which flash can understand. the balls go around in circles around their x , z plane. each ball has a different rotation around the x axis so that the balls also move up and down rather than just side to side (the balls would only move side to side if the y and z axis weren’t rotated aroud the x axis since their movement is only on the x z plane) the scale and alpha is change relative to the z coordinate of the ball. every frame, the balls depth is swaped to become the same as their z coordinate. this acts as the z-sorting. if you would like to see a fla and further explanation, just ask. the AS isn’t terribly difficult.

Looks good, I saw something similar awhile back, but I can’t remember where. I’ll post a link once I can remember. =)

Well i’d definately like to see an fla of that since you said its not terribly difficult, if you wouldn’t mind 🙂

Congratrulations! Doesn’t it feel good to accomplish something? 🙂 Haven’t felt that for a while now…

the AS is fairly straight forward except for the formulas which rotate the axis to match the flash coordinate system. I hope the _extensive_ internal documentation helps and if anything is unclear, please let me know and ill help
the fla…

similar to what i’m busy with now… first is a drag and drop function. and the other one has random movement… my code is still in a mess, but i’m busy cleaning up.👽
