Yes, I looked at the link but I don't see any display of FPS so I don't know if it is rendering faster or not. Your link is in a much smaller window which will render faster anyway. The link I provided runs the demo in the full browser area. Away3D and the like always run much faster in smaller window areas. Also, the rotation in your link is simply moving greater distances (via mouse position) than the other link giving the illusion.
Drawing a 3D triangle via software or direct3D or directdraw... IS a 3D capability. Flash 9 did not have this natively but Flash 10 does. Drawing a 3D triangle IS the base of 3D and Flash 10 comes with this. Either way Flash 10 renders 3D triangles and ultimately 3D objects far faster than it did before. If you are saying that Flash 10 does not have Direct3D or OpenGL capability then yes you are probably correct. I'm excited that the Flash team is at least taking the first step and using DirectDraw. I'm sure Direct3D or OpenGL will come in time. The Away3D team has already started a branch to take advantages of the improvements of Flash 10. It is tagged in SVN as version 3.0. The above link I provided is old and I stumbled on it while doing other searches and just wanted to share it. Tony
