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

Sasha Dzeletovic, Thursday, August 7, 2008 @ 5:47 pm

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.

Papervision3d 2.0 (Great White) in Flex 3 (Part I)

I'm developing a prototype that loads GPS coordinates/time of flights from an external file into Flash player in a browser and renders them at runtime using PV3D over an interactive Yahoo Maps API.

This prototype is in part being used to test performance of Flash Player running the excellent PV3D. So far it holds pretty good.
