Rotating Bitmaps in 3D in Flash CS3, a 3D Menu on a Cube in ActionScript 3

A new tutorial at flashandmath.com. We show how to rotate bitmaps in 3D in Flash CS3. We build a 3D menu on a cube whose sides are bitmaps and which can be
rotated by the user. We discuss the transform.matrix property of display objects in AS3 and the Matrix class.
