Five3d to AS3

Just finished a port of Five3D to AS3.click here to see the AS3 version of the caurina sample from Mathieu Badimon’s originalFor the most part the biggest hurdles were the conversion of the code from a ‘dynamic’ structure to a more AS3 happy structure — Mathieu used dynamic classes and decorated them with values. Another stumble was the fact that the classes made heavy use of extension, which means that much of the code I switched to public right away rather than fight with the compiler (which is a bear really) but at some point I’ll protect the classes again once I’ve gotten the code tidied up. There’s a few minor things but the migration is at 96.25%.

I’m using it right now for a great project where I prefer the nice clean lines in Five3d as opposed to the Bitmap-y look of Papervision or Sandy.

Here’s a link to the library:

Five3D AS3 Beta (Based on 1.0 code from www.mathieu-badimon.com).

Please send me any bug notes and I’ll update the code as required. Just a note that this is a straight port — Mathieu has been working on a new version that I’m sure will include some great improvements and when it does come out I’ll pull this version of the library as redundant.

Proud father of two children, happy husband to one wife. I've been programming various technologies and leading the development of huge projects for most of the last ten years. I've got some specific likes and dislikes through my experiences in the web site business but generally I'm pretty straightforward about it. Not a huge fan of the latest and greatest shiny toy (it took me four years to show an interest in Flash) I'm more than happy to code in any language that comes along (Actionscript is just so darn fun).
