Papervision3D 2.0 (Great White) in Flex 3 (Part II & III combined) with source code

The purpose of this demonstration is to use Yahoo Map and Papervision3D as a base for creating/importing 3D Objects with reference to actual locations on planet Earth using the Adobe Flex framework.

In this post I will be covering how to integrate Yahoo Maps AS3 API as an Interactive Material in PV3D 2.0 and solutions to the following problems:

- Security sandbox violation when using Yahoo Map as MovieMaterial (i.e. BitmapData.draw problem)
- Mapping Longitude and Latitude values to X and Y coordinates of a PV3D material
- Dragging Yahoo Map in PV3D (avoiding the map panning collision with PV3D)
- Simple gauge component from the ground up using basic trigonometry
- Simple tilt component again using basic trigonometry
- Making a visual component using Degrafa

Demonstrations of these solutions are packed in this air application for which you can also see and download fully functioning source code.
