Figure 9.5 Sample screen from planarLines3D.swf

Note also that, unlike other ActionScript lines, you cannot have a semicolon ( ; ) at
the end of the line when using #include . Let's also set the distance from the viewer
to the picture plane.

Step 4: Initialize object information

As we have done many times before, we'll create an empty movie clip named scene3D
and set its location to be the center of the Stage (lines 17-19). We are also going to
define five new arrays (lines 22-26). These arrays will be used to store the 3D coordi-
nate data of the object and the equivalent 2D screen coordinates of the object.
