Using one of the 3d tutorials here, I started making a really cool 3d interface to navagate around a scene. You use the red and green squares to navagate through a city scene. Get the source here http://www.orangebychoice.com/flash/3d_nav_seven.fla . For some crazy reason the code for the “setTransform” isn’t working for crap! I want each scene to fade to brown when it’s in the background and black in the forground. This is for a project at work and I’m freaking out!
Thank you for any insite!
Here the code, the problem is right in the middle, I commented it as “this isn’t working”…
