Q: 

Moving 2d objects on a 3d plane - AS3

I have a 2d plane rotated on its x axis, with 2d display objects I want to move around on the plane. Its pretty similar to a chess board:

The board is a rotated rectangle, and the pieces are just 2d display objects. Whats the easiest way to manipulate those objects so they appear to be moving on the board?

+1  A: 

Animate their Y position based on a Z property and adjust the scale based on the depth of the board. Or just add chess pieces as 3d objects and adjust their z to move forward and back.
