nope, thats not my rpg but its a good one. Although, the X thing isnt that hard to make. Just do a 3-D letter.
Than make the script to have it rotate on mouse movement. Im sure you out of all people can do it.
this idea is great and I think it is possible to do that with 3dfa.
watch me site ejected.de and watch the "e" which is rotating in the background. I want to do the same rotating effect like it is at XGENSTUDIOS.COM
This thread has some good example of very similar stuff to what you are looking for I think.
Take a look at Carmwath's 'guntest' example. If you can draw a 3D shape of an E, using one of the free 3D programs mentioned, then I don't see why you couldn't use the same logic to do the rotation.
I think the logic could be applied to your example somehow, but I'm not quite smart enough to think how. The filesize ought to be smaller with this method, but it might take a heck of a lot of drawing in the first place.
Best of luck.

If you use a 3D shape, I don't think you can animate it in any way other than the predefined 'effects' within the 'event' options. These predefined movements don't allow input from keyboard or mouse.
If I remember right, there is a way to write custom 'effects' which can be used within an 'event'. If you can do one that can take a variable from a script, then I think you could use some of the logic of rui_eduardos script to do the animation you're looking for.
i imagine that using rui_eduardo's method for the whole thing would work, but I imagine it would be a difficult process to define all the points/lines of the shape, depending on what shape you use.
I'll be intrigued to hear how you get on.

PS - Here's the result of my playing, in case it is of interest:
I reckon we can probably sort out the swap depths problem. The problem I think we'll find for this task, is in trying to map the number of lines that would be involved to try and make something as complex as this 3D image.
yes, it's true
probably we are losting our time
3dfa isn't flash mx
so, is logic than same tasks must be done in different approach
just 3dfa have the possibility to do 3d, we have to use this approach
but, it will be interessant we get a cube menu wich each one face is a button when pressed open or show something.

Hi
Yes, you have reason.
When i have time, i'll try the backface system.
I have worked on movie clip concept, only.
Anyway, this backface system is work for pc in each one frame, too.
My problem is this 3d type as well 3d rotations have a lot of calculations.
Old computers stay slow.
This kind of things work well only in new computers.
But just now i'm working in a drop down menu based on a Senocular tutorial, here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...pdown_menu.htm .
My goal is create a xml application with 3dfa front end, in order when you want update your site, you must touch in xml files, only, and not in swf file. When you intend to update layout, you don't touch in xml files.
