Can anyone help me .I have the Script to make an opaque 3D cube but i really want to have one with all the Sides Filled In.Prefurably
One Side Bright Yellow
One Side Bright Green
One Side Bright Blue
One Side Bright Red
I dont mind the other colors used as long as it looks like a Rubix Cube.
Also,I dont really want it locked to the Cursor
Alan
I HATE TO ASK BUT I HAVE DESPERATELY BEEN TRYING TO ADD MY BEGIN FILL AND END FILL BUT WITH LITTLE EFFECT

Ok... let's start off with the rules.
Ask your questions once in the most appropriate location/forum. Once. Per the Flashkit Rules...
Now, you want a segmented, non-animated 3D rubix cube? What tools do you have access to?
Hi,thanks For Replying.i Dont Fully Understand Ur Question About What Tools I Have Access To.if I Just Us Normal Flash 5 With Its Standard Tools

I have the Script to make a Transparent 3d Rotating Cube but i want want one with colored sides.I tried adapting my script by using "begin fill" and "end fill" but could not do it.Could anyone help.Alan

Could you post some code?
Hi Boris.yes I Shall Post The Code To U Tomorrow As I Am Not On The Net At Home And Use Cafes.
By tools, I mean software.
And do you have any 3D software. To create something like a rubix cube and you want to rotate it, you have three methods immediately available to you that I can bring up.
3D model within a 3D program
3D model via ActionScript
Fake 3D
Well... here's a fourth. Get a 3D rubix cube clip/model.
Now... what software do you have that can help you accomplish this task?
Alan Robotkin... I don't know how you keep posting the same thread, the same thing, over and over in different places in Flashkit over and over but it's against the rules, it's annoying, and above all it's going to stop.
One way or the other.
I've insisted that you read the rules. Allow me to make them very clear to you right now. And this is your absolute last warning on this subject. This happens again, you will have your right to post at Flashkit removed permanently.
The rules state that you do not multiple post your one inquiry on the same subject across multiple threads ever again. You have historically done this over and over.
It stops now.
HERE IS THE SCRIPT U WANTED BORIS

Why can't you follow one simple rule?
I've had to delete your script code that you posted in another thread in Flash ActionScript.
If you can search to post stuff multiple times, just follow the rules and post it once :rolleyes:
You are close to being a spammer dude.
Yes I Realised I Posted It In The Wrong Place Just Afterwards

P.S IF I DONT REPLY TO YOUR ANSWER STRAIGHT AWAY IT IS BECAUSE I AM NOT ON THE NET AT HOME BUT I WILL GET BACK TO U WITHIN 24 HOURS

This is the same thread as your other NINE threads on the same subject that I've had to compile?
Ok. Since you are that dang insistent on posting this over and over... and despite multiple warnings why don't you just alter the Alpha and drop the percentage away from 100% to a lesser amount for transparency.
That will work if you are using solids to make up the movieclips to make up the 3D box.
I will clump this thread into your other one. AGAIN :rolleyes:
Thanks For Ur Response But I Wanted Something More Specific Like Some Actual Code.do I Use Begin Fill Or End Fill?

You also have a Load Vars question in your history that's just too dang numerous to count.
Allow me to make this clear. Posting your questions, the very same question, over and over is against the rules. I don't care how much you want to type in all caps - which is considered YELLING on the internet - or how you want to say that you "have rights too"... I enforce the rules here at Flashkit. I can make each and every one of your multiple posts, since I've now been made fully aware of it now, disappear.
As well as your account.
Now... here's where I make you a deal that you shouldn't refuse.
You stick all of your 3D cube questions into this thread. And only this thread. This appears anywhere else on the Flashkit website; you will no longer have an account. And each time you attempt to sign back up for an account, I will immediately remove your ability to post due to your blatant inability to understand one simple rule: do not multiple post.
It's just that easy. Follow the rule, or lose your account. I have no more time to waste chasing down your multiple posts.

What is the source of your code? Where did you get it? Post a link, in this thread.Quote:

alan
This what you're trying to do?
If so, I just used something I forgot I had purchased... Flashloaded's 3D Box Component... in like 3 minutes.
Thats Exaactly What I Want
Thanks And I Shall Follow Ur Source
Alan
Sorry i just realised i mispelled UR name.
I realise the 3d component would create a professional colored cube and when i get some cash i shall consider purchasing it,however I really wanted to acheive exactly that result via just ActionScript.Is that possble.Tahts all I really want to know
Alan
http://gorillafarm.com/tutorial/box/box.fla
there's the *.fla file.
If I'm reading your code correctly, your example script has only two movieclips... one for points - the corners - and one for lines... nothing for faces.
That box would be empty. And you'd need much more work to add flat faces that rotate and have an alpha.
Simply put... I'd locate a better version if you're doing it all in AS.
You just clarified one major issue for me.That is that you have confirmed by ur last message that The Cube can indeed be created all in ACTIONsCRIPT.Now at least I know that my goal is Acheivable without the need to use a 3d external tool.I shall try to work out a function that creates the colored sides.Presumably i can use attach movie to do this although my ideal was to use begin fill and end fill as to me the whole point of the exercise was to create the colored cube using only Script and not existing clips
Alan
p.s i shall check my e-mail in a few hours if u can be bothered to reply
Hi Gerbick,for some reason i could not access the box tutorial you sent me.I have Flash 5 or it could be because i opened it on my home computer which is not on line.For what ever reason i was wondering if you could just send me the script.Also have you any book recomendationds on flash 3d? That would save me pestering you at all
alan
I have Flash 8. I don't have any way to save it any lower than Flash MX 2004, quite honestly.
As far as Flash and 3D; very good question. Flash Math Creativity is a good one, but it barely dives into 3D, more into bezier and math manipulations and oddities.
I have finally got the hang of using this website thanks to ur pesistance with me.I now understand how to use the threads.
Can u recommend a 3d book ,GERBICK?
ALAN
No, I can not think of any really.
O.k
