The point of this exercise is to learn how to create a 3d object from primitive 2d shapes in Flash ActionScript 3.0.

I added very simple animation effect just to demonstrate that it actually is 3d and rotates.

Note: I left final 6th side out on purpose.

No special instructions to run this code, just drop it into actions editor and preview your movie.

Flash demo is at the bottom of the post, scroll there!

Initially i had difficulty attaching a sprite created inside a class onto the stage. I haven't found documentation yet that explains the right way of doing it but i did stumble onto my own solution. I will not know whether this is the right way of doing it until i find some documentation that explains it. If some one has a tip please leave a comment.

I instantiated my class from the main FLA using the following code passing 'this' into the construct. "This" represents /stage/ in this file :

Incredibly simple flash app that demonstrates simple key controls.
Use key up, down, left, and right to control the grey rectangle.
