Exploring 3D in Flash
We live in a three-dimensional world. Objects and spaces have width, height, and
depth. Various specialized immersive technologies such as special helmets, gloves,
and 3D monitors have produced very effective and exciting computer-generated
virtual reality environments.
The first thing you should know about 3D and Flash is that there is no 3D in Flash. That
is, there are no inherent 3D capabilities built into Flash, either through drawing tools or
through scripting commands. The kinds of virtual realities mentioned above are just not
possible with Flash.
