3D transformations
Bringing perspective and dimension to your design can add an element of excitement and
fun to any project. But until now, the ability to create 3D motion was available only to
expert users via ActionScript or other sophisticated tools. Now, with Flash CS4, you can
animate 2D objects through 3D space with new easy-to-use 3D transformation tools, greatly
extending creative possibilities. Built for inexperienced and advanced users alike, the 3D
transformation tools make motion eects available to everyone.
Specically, Flash CS4 features two new tools for applying 3D eects:
• e3DTranslationtoolprovidesvisuallyintuitivex-,y-,andz-axisobjectmanipulation.
• e3DRotationtoolallowsyoutospinandtwirlyourartwithina3Dspace.
You can apply local or global rotation to move an object within relationship to itself or to
the stage and ne-tune perspectives with complete control over vanishing-point location
and perspective angle. A global vanishing point enables you to dene the location at which
your animation disappears in the distance.
