"I would say that all of your instructors are Gurus!! I have learned more watching just half of the videos so far than what I've learned in two college classes." - Mike Sandlin


"I have been purchasing and actually using your videos for about 2 years now... they are very concise, always hit the mark, and I am able to use the information immediately... Your instructors really know their stuff! I have referred others to your website. I would not be able to be in business if it were not for you guys! Thank you, and keep it up! You rock!"  - Jan Lybarger

Enhanced Training Options

 
  • 01 – Introduction (1:09)

    02 – The 3D Rotation Tool (5:09)
    The 3D Rotation Tool allows you to rotate objects around the x, y, or z axis.

    03 – The 3D Translation Tool (2:25)
    This tool allows you to move 2-dimensional objects around in 3D space.

    04 – 3D Position and View (11:36)
    In this video, Craig illustrates how to change the 3D properties of an object using options in the properties panel.

    05 – Animating 3D Rotation (4:12)
    In this lesson, Craig demonstrates how to create a simple animation of an object rotating around a 3D axis.

    06 – Motion Editor Adjustments (4:34)
    In this video, you’ll learn how to use the Motion Editor in order to gain control over your 3D rotation animations.

    07 – More Rotating Animations (9:51)
    In this video, you’ll learn how to create an animation of a text field with letters that rotate on a 3D axis.

    08 – 3D Anchor Points (3:23)
    By default, when you rotate an object in 3D space, the anchor point of that rotation is the center of the object. In this video, you’ll learn how to change that anchor point.

    09 – Creating a 3D Cube (13:04)
    In this video, you’ll learn how to arrange a few squares in 3D space in order to form a cube.

    10 – 3D Limitations (3:02)
    In this video, Craig discusses the main limitation of working with the 3D tools in Flash.

    11 – Two-Sided Objects (7:59)
    In this video, you’ll learn how to trick your viewers into thinking they’re seeing a two-sided object that rotates around the y axis.

    12 – Scrolling 3D Text (7:02)
    In this lesson, Craig demonstrates how to create a block of text that scrolls upwards at angle, such as at the beginning of the Star Wars movies.

    13 – 3D Text Block (6:02)
    In this video, Craig will demonstrate how to create a stack of 2-dimensional objects that looks like a 3D object.

    14 – 3D Coordinates in ActionScript (8:25)
    In this lesson, you will learn how to move an object around in 3D space using the x, y, and z properties in ActionScript 3.

    15 – 3D Rotation in ActionScript (8:08)
    This video takes a look at the rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ properties, which allow you to rotate an object in 3D space.

    16 – Animating 3D Movement in ActionScript (8:54)
    In this video, you’ll learn how to animate the movement of an object in 3D space using ActionScript.

    17 – ActionScript Vanishing Points (12:20)
    Altering the vanishing point in your Properties Panel will do you no good if you intend to animate your 3D properties using ActionScript, so in this lesson, Craig will demonstrate how to alter (and animate) the vanishing point in ActionScript.

    18 – Animating 3D Rotation in ActionScript (10:51)
    In this video, you’ll learn how to animate the 3D rotation of an object with ActionScript.

    19 – Random 3D Particles (12:47)
    In this video, Craig will get started on a 3D particle effect by showing you how to attach multiple instances of the same movie clip to the stage at random x, y, and z coordinates.

    20 – Particles and Vanishing Points (5:16)
    In this lesson, Craig demonstrates how to animate the vanishing point of your particle effect so that it follows your mouse cursor around. This results in an amazing effect that really enhances the 3D feel of your particle field.

    21 – Starfield Effect (15:56)
    In this video, Craig demonstrates how to use ActionScript to create a particle effect with the particles moving closer to the “camera”, as though we were moving through a starfield.

    22 – Combining Effects (2:41)
    In this video, Craig combines the starfield effect with the moving vanishing point effect in order to create a stunning 3D effect that will wow your friends and clients.

    23 – Conclusion (00:43)
