3D CUBE with colored sides - posted for the TENTH time

[Alan Robotkin]

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?

[Alan Robotkin]

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?

[Alan Robotkin]

Hi Boris.yes I Shall Post The Code To U Tomorrow As I Am Not On The Net At Home And Use Cafes.

[gerbick]

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?

[gerbick]

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.

I Dont Have Any Access To 3d Tools And Was Hoping To Acheive End Result Via Actionsript

[gerbick]

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

You are close to being a spammer dude.

Erm... no you didn't.

You posted it again.

That's 9 times. Post this one more time, and you're going to have a week long break to figure out what you might be doing wrong.

[jAQUAN]

you're lucky. I'd have banned you by now.

lol... sorry had to get that out of my system.

[Alan Robotkin]

I have the script for a 3d cube that is traNsparent and have tried to use "begin fill" and "end fill" to make it have colored sides,but i have not managed to acheive it.Can any one give me any advice or perhaps suggest a book i could read on making 3d in ACTIONSRIPT OR IN INDEED IF IT IS POSSIBLE AT ALL TO ACHEIVE A COLORED CUBE WITHOUT USING ANY 3D TOOLS BUT JUST USING ACTIONSCRIPT.SORRY I NEVER BUMPED MY OTHER THREAD ON THE SUBJECT BUT I FORGOT TO ASK ABOUT THE BOOK.
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

[gerbick]

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
