Anyone know how to/or any examples of images being quadded (as in Director) in Flash...
I seem to remember a can spinning around in space with a label on it...
Or a work around?

Never seen it done in Flash. Dont think its possible to manipulate individual pixels of a bitmap in flash.
Why cant you just do it in Director?

Nice work, did you use 3D functions to create this or just fake 3D and quad function?
I think you can shape tween bitmaps with flash MX, whereas Flash5 you could only perspective distort, Flash MX allows you to Distort all 4 corners. Your only problem is that I dont think shape tweening can be controlled with code, thus you might have to shape tween every single possible motion path and use actionscript to navigate along your timeline and change the movieclip depending on your master path.
Just ideas though not sure it can actually be done.

Thanks Seph...
It was a bespoke 3D engine... the Shockwave 3D is no good especially for those on a Mac... plus it would have been a case of takign out rather than putting in if you know what I mean...
I'm using code in Flash MX together with their drawing API...
all experimental at the moment... but good fun!
