Apparently it’s not that new, but Flash Player 10 and Flash CS4 support 3D or what some are calling “2.5D.”

Z-sorting 3D DisplayObjects for Flash Player 10

Of course there are numerous others like PaperVision and Swift 3D, but this centralizes it in homebase so to speak.

This one was very interesting. It’s actually in the comments from the first link.

Flash Debug Class – dPanel

Debugging with MonsterDebugger (video)

I cannot think of a single time where Ask Apache didn’t come through with something really useful. This time? Preload and cache your FLVs.

Straight from the horse’s mouth: Adobe – Flash CS3 resources

OK, some from Yahoo! as well.

I suppose the ActionScript.org site should be listed too.

Amazingly I’m not running across that many well done Papervision sites so here a few (and as I run across them):

I’m going to try to maintain this post with cool Papervision3D components I find.  In the meantime I’ll be looking for more tutorials for working with Papervision3D within Flash as opposed to Flex.

So for starters:

John Grden’s New Papervision3D Components!

Additional Articles:

Introduction to Papervision from Computer Arts

Additional Mentions of RockOnFlash’s release.

Additional Note:

I don’t think anyone is going to beat this awesome addition to the Flash IDE component-wise, so I’m on the hunt for good tutorials as of now.

Of course, time is always an investment but…

FlashDevelop is an open source editor primarily geared at ActionScript and as a by-product Flex development.

Mix that with the freely available Flex 3 SDK and you can begin developing cutting-edge RIAs in a Flash… er… flash.  No pun intended.

Papervision3D Tutorials — This site serves its purpose of being a righteous little pit stop for Papervision3D, Flex and Flash development.

Dusan Writer on Papervision — I haven’t really looked all through this expansive one page of Papervision but it looks semi-promising (as a page of links to other valid resources).

Flash Video Basics – Part 1 — There are numerous others though.

gotoAndLearn.com is another excellent source of random Flash excellence.

A fantastic video from Brad Fitzpatrick of him illustrating an NH Magazine spot.

I really want to do more Flash work.  Although to be honest, the fact Brad is an awesome artist plays about 85 to 90% on the outcome.

I’m having to do some more work with FLVs and I believe this tool might assist.
