Playing with Away3D

I have just spent a couple of hours last night getting to grips with Away3D. I just created a little demo that creates a few spheres and then adds an ENTER_FRAME event listener and responds to mouse movement.

You can download the whole thing here: http://harry-northover-code-store.googlecode.com/files/Away3DBasics.zip

Here is a screene:

And here’s the code:

package {

	import away3d.cameras.HoverCamera3D;
	import away3d.containers.View3D;
	import away3d.primitives.Sphere;

	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.events.Event;

	import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

	public class Away3DBasics extends Sprite {

		public var stageHeightCenter:uint = stage.stageHeight / 2 - 100;
		public var stageWidthCenter:uint = stage.stageWidth / 2 + 100; 

		public var cam:HoverCamera3D = new HoverCamera3D( { zoom:1, focus:200 } );
		public var view:View3D = new View3D( { x:stageWidthCenter, y:stageHeightCenter, camera:cam } );

		public function Away3DBasics() {

			cam.steps = 16;

			// Add the view to the stage.
			addChild(view);

			// Create 20 spheres.
			for (var i:uint = 0; i <= 20; i++)
			{
				var sphere:Sphere = new Sphere();
				sphere.invertFaces();
				sphere.x = Math.random() * 1000;
				sphere.y = Math.random() * 1000;
				sphere.z = Math.random() * 600;
				sphere.rotationX = Math.random() * 360;
				sphere.rotationY = Math.random() * 360;
				view.scene.addChild(sphere);
			}

			// Add Event listeners.
			this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onRun);

			// Render the scene...
			cam.hover();
			view.render();

		}

		// This is the code for the ENTER_FRAME event.
		private function onRun(evt:Event):void {
			cam.rotationX = Math.random() * 360;
			cam.rotationY = Math.random() * 360;
			cam.rotationZ = Math.random() * 360;
			cam.pan(Math.random() * 360);
			Tweener.addTween(cam, { zoom: (stage.mouseY / stage.stageHeight) * 4 + 0.5, time:0.1, transition:"easeInOutExpo" } );
			cam.hover();
			view.render();
		}
	}
}

There you go! I will be doing a lot more stuff with Away3D so keep an eye out!
