Thanks for the helpful info...The site I am working on will actually be a movie...shot green screen and then edited with aftereffects. Do you know if after effects can export a swf file that can be controled through flash the same way as you explain below?

Or possibly Swift 3D, but you're going to run into some modeling and rendering limitations with Swift 3D (though to be fair, you can do some neat stuff with it). Then the animation is exported from the 3-D app as .swf file or bitmap sequence and then controlled as a timeline in Flash with gotoAndStop(theframenumber) based on what they do with the mouse. The Flash part is really simple actually. Notice it's not "real" 3-D - you can only rotate it on one plane. To add another plane of rotation, would require another animation sequence. Like scrubbing through a movie - same concept. To rotate dynamically in any direction in 3D just isn't possible in Flash. Some people have written some dynamic 3-D rendering engines in Flash, but it's very complicated and nothing that can handle textures and lighting like you see in that sequence. Mostly they are limited to very simple vector shapes. Do do real 3-D on the web, look to Director. However, if you just want to do what this site does, an animated sequence of the rotation is all you need.
