With all of the classes written, you can now create a FLA that renders a simple 3D scene. In the spirit of my previous automobile examples, I have assembled a set of nodes, lines, and polygons that render the basic shape of a car. Rather than walk you through the code line by line, I have included comments that explain each section:
// import the classes and interfaces for the project
import com.lo9ic.*;
// create the scene movie clip and center it on the stage
var mySceneClip:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("SceneMC", 1);
mySceneClip._x = 275;
mySceneClip._y = 200;
mySceneClip._yscale = mySceneClip._xscale = 250;
// create an instance of the Scene class and set
// the clip and projection factor properties
var myScene:Scene = new Scene();
myScene.clip = mySceneClip;
myScene.f = 200;
// create style objects to be used by lines and polygons
var bodyStyle:Style = new Style();
bodyStyle.fillcolor = "0x660000";
bodyStyle.linecolor = "0x660000";
var grillStyle:Style = new Style();
grillStyle.fillcolor = "0x666666";
grillStyle.linealpha = 0;
var windowStyle:Style = new Style();
windowStyle.fillcolor = "0x000033";
windowStyle.fillalpha = 20;
windowStyle.linecolor = "0x660000";
windowStyle.linealpha = 100;
windowStyle.lineweight = 2;
var antennaStyle:Style = new Style();
var roofStyle:Style = new Style();
var interiorStyle:Style = new Style();
interiorStyle.fillcolor = "0x5F453A";
interiorStyle.linealpha = 0;
var tireStyle:Style = new Style();
tireStyle.fillcolor = "0x333333";
tireStyle.linealpha = 0;

When you publish the FLA, the resulting movie looks like the one in Figure 1.
I encourage you to download and experiment with this code to create your own 3D scenes or classes. Write a cube or pyramid class that leverages the classes I present here. Hopefully you will find that class-based programming is not only easy to implement but useful in your own projects.
