We did this at FlashCodersBrighton :

We used a "mode7" style technique. It was actually a bit complicated,
but maybe I'll post a blog about it if enough people are interested?

cheers!

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. :)
