3D Plotter with PaperVision3D and Flex
This Flash Forum entry provides instructions and source code for a simple 3D plotter using PaperVision3D in Flex. The basis of the applet is ActionScript 3. The tutorial is composed of two videos and links to supporting files.
Flash CS3 Mathlet: Motion in 3D Space
The Flash Forum resource shows velocity and acceleration vectors for an arbitrary parametric curve in space, and provides built in examples. Flash source code is provided.
Simple 3D Drawing
This Flash Forum tutorial not only discusses the programming involved in rendering simple polyhedra in Flash CS3, but it also gives an elementary discussion of the mathematics behind 3D rendering on a 2D computer screen.
Flash Tools for Developers: 3D Graphers in ActionScript 3
This article describes classes for 3D graphing revised for AS 3. Along with class files and documentation, we provide several templates to show how to use the classes for graphs of functions of two variables as well as parametrically defined surfaces.
Actionscript 3 Tutorials
A collection of mathematics applets with full documentation and source code for beginning users of Adobe Flash. This collection is part of the MathDL Flash Forum.

The new version of Adobe Flash (CS3) comes includes a new version of the scripting language (ActionScript 3.0). The material for the June 2007 Flash at the Beach workshop (through the MAA PREP program) consisted entirely of ActionScript 3.0 Tutorials in Flash CS3. Click the picture on the right to see the ActionScript 3.0 tutorial material from the workshop. |

The first MathDL Flash Forum Development article to use ActionScript 3.0 reprises the ealier Basic Function Grapher and Parametric Curves articles. Templates along with complete instructions for modifying them can be found in the Flash Forum article Flash Tools for Developers (AS3): Graphing curves in the plane. Click the picture on the right to go to the Development article. |

The Flash Forum "Sharing Area" article Visualizing Regions for Double Integrals presents a valuable tool for students learning about double integrals in multivariable calculus. Any valid limits of integration (in rectangular or polar coordinates) can be entered and this Flash applet will show the planar region over which the integration will take place. This applet uses the classes from the MathDL Flash Forum article "Flash Tools for Developers: Parametric Curves on the Plane." Click on the picture on the left for more on using this applet or downloading the Flash source code. |
