whether you screw or skew the movieclip that still wont be a perspective distortion:)

The effect is not just skewing. It *is* 3d, in the meaning that the perspective is distorted because the middle points are moved away depending on the angle. So yes, your faster/best bet would be to use any 3d class such as Papervision3D. It should be fairly simple as you'll just need a rotated plane with the content of a movieclip projected on it.
