V in 3D

programming flash
1

Hi everbody

I recently took a look at kirupaLab and saw that E turning in 3D (just love that one :slight_smile: ) Now I was wondering, is it possible for me to change that E into a V ? You see my nick is Voetsjoeba so it would be nice to have a V instead of an E. Do i have to change the ActionScripting ( which I actually can’t :hair: so can anyone help me with this please ? ) or do I simply have to change the E image into a V image ?

chances are you should start out with a few tutorials, asking questions when you get stuck. If you take on something that is that far above your head, chances are you will get frustrated, and not enjoy the program.

It is not that difficult, just takes a little time.

I know, it’s far above my head :sure:, that’s why I’m asking for help. Those tutorials you were talking about, can I find them here on Kirupa ?

You can find some perspective tutorials on here at Kirupa… I’m not too sure about the 3d tutorials… Just take a look around and perform a couple of searches…

As far as it should be… Try downloading the .fla and changing it around some… That’s why we have provided the kirupalab… To give cool effects at your disposal… Of course… if you only use the code… Be sure to provide some sort of thanks or credits to the author :slight_smile:

Well that’s the problem, i downloaded the .fla file but inside there were only 3 frames, each one of them with ActionScript, and one the stage just a single symbol, which doesn’t contain anything.
So how am I supposed to edit it ?? That ActionScripting is way to advanced for me :-\ And i didn’t found any 3d tutorials here on kirupa (hinthint kirupa … :wink: )

lmao… Yeah man… It’s hard to find tutorials here sometimes… But there are some scattered around… Try using this forum’s searching capabilities sometime and see if you can find some things…

Alot of times members like me and senocular like to psot random tutorials about things here and there to help people out. :slight_smile:

I would check out the .fla for you but I"m about ready to leave buddy… If you still haven’t figured this out when I gte back later on… I’ll see what I can do to dissect that .fla for you into something understandable :slight_smile:

with things like that it can get really in depth. If you dont know much about the 3D or math of it all, its best to find a template to work off of and use that. Im not sure how the E example is set up, but your best bet there (since it seems to be what you want) is to try to find the parts of the code which lay out points to make up the E. It should be fairly easy to spot - a bunch of coordinates layed out making up a shape. All youd need to do is replace them with coordinates which make a V. A V isnt that hard either since its only 7 points. The E would have like 12. IF anything else you can alter those points and test until you get something which resembles a V.

Otherwise, for examples Id check out the tuts and examples on Flashkit. Theres hordes of flas there and no doubt a few on 3D - though most likely dated. actionscript.org might be another place to check. a google search too of course. Otherwise I could always whip something up and try to make it easy to use.

Okay, i figured it out. Thanks anyway dudes !
