Starting with Flash Player 10 Adobe introduces the native 3D calculations methods for Action Script 3.0 . This calculations are faster than scripted 3D trigonometric calculations. Papervision 2 uses this native 3D clases and I explored them also. Soon Adobe will release Flash Player which will use hardware 3D acceleration but now the most effective way to use 3D in Flash are this native 3D methods. (more…)

But now you can access all this documentation locally which makes it much faster and comrfortable. Thanks to Jeroem Beckers and Michiel Vancoillie we have the free “Doc?”. (more…)
