Making a rotating “barrel” like in Hearthstone

[scalpmonkey]

Hi,
I'm about to start making a rotation barrel like the opponent picker in Hearthstone ( https://youtu.be/QBq_MkP8ZFA?t=14s - ignore the sound )

From my humble knowledge I'm gonna be doing this steps:

1. Design it in 3D studio
2. Import the video in Flash
3. Make the field dynamic
4. Fill the fields with JavaScript from a external .txt or .xml file.

Is this the right way?



And by the way, how is this rotating thing called on English language? How should I search the internet for it?



Thanks,
Gorast

For the most part, flash isn't designed for 3d stuff. It can be done, it's just more difficult. However, you can fake it.
A simple version would just be several rectangles moving up with text fields included. Then you hide the ones that are outside of the viewing area.
There are many ways to handle this but something like this would be simplest.

It all depends on what you want. I can think of several ways to accomplish this. Some of course wouldn't work as well or would be too much. It all depends on how you want it to look and how efficient you want it to be. I don't have anything on hand but I could probably create something.
