Trying to use a movieclip on a mesh...

Question

Hi there, Im new here and I got a question, I need to use a movieclip on a mesh, I mean, make that the shape of my movieclip fits in a mesh, my movieclip now have a rectangular form, and I want it to adopt a cylindrical one.

Obviously, I want that my moviecliip keep all its funcionality, buttons, animations, etc.

Thx in advance.

You could take a few approaches to this:

1) the one I would go for, use a displacement map like this: http://dispatchevent.org/roger/cylinder-mapping/

2) use a 3d engine such as away3d, papervision or sandy and use your swf as a material on a cylindrical mesh

3) use pixel bender (not my first choice, but probably possible)
