Hello. I'm trying to take a vector map of North America and produce the sense of 'flying over' it. I want to have the flat map tipped along the X axis, so that the bottom (Florida, Texas, etc.) appear closer and the top (Nunuvut, Greenland, etc.) appear farther away. Then I want to be able to pan the map left and right, up and down, and 'zoom' in by scaling it.. scaling it a little faster vertically so that it seems to flatten out a bit as you "get closer to the ground". So far I've only been able to achieve that in Illustrator and then saving the perspectively squished vectors as a .swf What I'd love to do is to get that perspective squish done within Flash 8 using script. I know about 3D program extensions for Flash like Sandy, but I find them cryptic (at best) and over kill for my simple needs. Any suggestions..? Thanks. :) - - - - - - - - - -[andrew murphy]- flash developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] delvinia interactive inc. 214 king street west, suite 214 toronto canada M5H 3S6 voice 416.364.1455 ext. 232 cell 416.820.8723 fax 416.364.9830 www.delvinia.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This email message may contain privileged or confidential information.
