Hey.
Iam a Facility management student, and i must learn a lot about computer programs which are used to build 3-D constructions. Can you tell me wheter i can used the Actionscript 3 Isometric Library only for computer game programming? The reason for my question: Iam searching for new, good programs which give me a chance to build qualitative well 3-D construktions, without a lot of problems!
Thx for reading, Greets – Flug

That a good Library ^^ May some exemple on interactivity can help all user =)
I post my exemple but i’m not sure it’s the best method to do that =/

import as3isolib.core.ClassFactory;
import as3isolib.core.IFactory;
import as3isolib.display.IsoView;
import as3isolib.display.primitive.IsoBox;
import as3isolib.display.renderers.DefaultShadowRenderer;
import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoGrid;
import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoScene;
import as3isolib.enum.RenderStyleType;

import flash.display.Sprite;

var box:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
box.styleType = RenderStyleType.SHADED;
box.faceColors = [0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff];
box.faceAlphas = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1];
box.setSize(25, 30, 40);
box.moveTo(0, 0, 10);

var box2:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
box2.width = 30;
box2.length = 30;
box2.height = 30;
box2.x = 40;
box2.y = -40;
box2.z = 50;
box2.id = “MovingBox”;

var grid:IsoGrid = new IsoGrid();
grid.moveTo(0, 0, 0);
grid.cellSize = 25;
grid.showOrigin = false;

var factory:IFactory = new ClassFactory(DefaultShadowRenderer);
factory.properties = {shadowColor:0×000000, shadowAlpha:0.15, drawAll:false};

var scene:IsoScene = new IsoScene();
scene.addChild(box);
scene.addChild(box2);
scene.addChild(grid);
scene.styleRenderers = [factory];
scene.render();

var view:IsoView = new IsoView();
view.setSize(400, 400);
view.scene = scene;//look in the future to be able to add more scenes
addChild(view);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,Moving);

function Moving(e:KeyboardEvent) {

//trace(“>”+e);

//Fleche Gauche
if (e.keyCode == 37) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x-1;
view.scene.render();
}
//Fleche Haut
if (e.keyCode == 38) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z-1;
} else {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y-1;
}
view.scene.render();
}
//Fleche Droite
if (e.keyCode == 39) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x+1;
view.scene.render();
}
//Fleche Bas
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z+1;
} else {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y+1;
}
view.scene.render();
}
trace(“~>”+view.scene.children);
}

function IDChild(Identifiant:String):int{
return view.scene.getChildIndex(view.scene.getChildByID(Identifiant));
}

actionscript is too difficult for me

I should add that the lib is in the Alpha stage so I am constantly trying to morph the API into the best it can be. If anyone has suggestions or would like to help out on the project, please contact me jwopitz [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks for the review.

@Florian
Yes, you can interact with the isometric objects. Because they are based loosely on the scenegraph implementation, you might want to check out the method I used for the interactive events. Check out the eventDispatcherProxy documentation – http://as3isolib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/asdoc/eDpLib/events/EventDispatcherProxy.html

This basically allows the data portion of the iso primitive class to act as the actual interactive object (which is the Sprite on stage). It stands in place of the Sprite for all events.
