Hi all, I'm doing a work project that uses Flash CS3 / AS 2 (and cannot use AS3). I have a rather interesting and hairy problem that is taking up quite a bit of time and sanity.

Rega...
I have a client asking me "What are the pros and cons with upgrading from AS2/Flash to AS3/Flex?"

The applicat...

How can I z-order the faces of a 3d object just using the 4 vertices of each of its faces? I've tried using a z-buffer where I store the average z value of each face; this works great most of the times, but fails when an object have large and small faces. I'm building a small 3d-engine in flash, just for the fun of learning, so the only...

In an external actionscript file I have implemented the class MegaWeap...
