Using Adobe Flex 4 and spark.effects to create a cool star-field

Was working with the 3D features of Flex 4 and ActionScript specifically

• spark.effects.move3D
• spark.effects.rotate3D
• spark.effects.scale3D

For a presentation at the Melbourne Flex User Group and decided to create a 3D star-field. This worked out well for my demo, it allowed me to demonstrate something real.





You can control the star-field, the controls, top-bottom are

• Perspective Projection X
• Perspective Projection Y
• Speed of effect
• Size of Star
• Direction of Movement

Have a play, check out the source code, I have enabled View Source, so right click and view source from the star-field. All feedback welcome
