[AS2] 3D elements in a 2d world

[cjx3711]

I'm currently thinkting of making a shooting game in flash in which the view is from the top down. I have already made some games like these and I have no problems moving and shooting. Now, I would like to know if there is any way integrate 3D objects into the map.

I know that it is possible to dynamically create 3D boxes in flash, but is there any way to fill in textures?

Can someone please tell me how go about scripting a 3D cube and apply textures to it?

thats all the basics you need(look in advanced section)

also if you are gonna do 3d then all calculations have to be for 3d, so you cannot exactly call it 3d in 2d world(unless you do fake3d).....and if you are doing 3d, then use papervision3d or away3d

Thanks, I didn't really find what I was looking for but I found many other cool things. I will continue searching.

That is one wordy home page. (I don't supposed I can critique its design?:p)

Anyway if you are referring to like drawing in 3D using the drawing API, I think that its not very feasible in a game environment due to the sheer processing power needed to run it.
