It’s almost impossible to do this with
normal Flash, let alone trying to do it in Flex. Sounds like a nightmare to me.
Flash just isn’t suited (at the moment) for 3d (or pseudo 3d). Director has
that sort of thing.

When you said
"Globe" ebject I immediately thought wireframe. You could easily
write a wireframe sphere function that takes in perspective and rotation
information and spits back a series of lines... There is code all over the 'net
on wireframe drawing.

are a plethora of ways to integrate this with Flex. You could do the SWC
route, yes. You could do the animations, and just control it with
Flex. You could do it in pieces, and let Flex have more control on how
they are loaded in (popups in PopUpManager instead of standards
container). You could also have all assets, include globe, be built and
contained in Flex.
The actual creation of the assets, though,
yes, it would probably be best to do in Flash and/or AfterEffects.

I
don’t have an example no… It’s still in the “hey that would be kewl stage”
Basically
they want a globe that’s able to rotate so that you can pick multiple points on
it and bring up windows on those points with information about that particular
point.
I’m
95% sure now that I’ll have to write/buy a custom .swc and import it…

Do you have a link towards a visual
example of the desired effect?

I just had a question thrown at me
about a globe type surface being done in flex.
My initial gut reaction to that was…
“you can’t do that in flex”
You could if you used flash to create
the globe component right?
Then embed that flash component in a
flex app?
Just thought I’d throw this out there
for some input on a solution.
Thanks in Advance,
