camera.moveForward, etc not in lite?

[Joseph]

I used

camera.moveForward(N), camera.moveBackward(N), camera.moveLeft(N), etc
with Camera3D

extensively in away3d (heavy?) but lite doesn't like it ... is it
still available?

[Joseph]

In case it's not obvious to others how to get around the loss:

camXdir = Math.sin(camPan * (Math.PI/180)) * stepSize;
camZdir = Math.cos(camPan * (Math.PI/180)) * stepSize;

camera.x += camXdir;
camera.z += camZdir;

where camPan is simply a variable that keeps track of the amount of
camera.rotationY done for Camera3D.

May be a better way around it but this works ...

Hey Joseph

you can try port code from away3d

True that. I'll give it a shot but not very confident in my
abilities ... wish me luck :)

Hey Joseph

alternatively, try using the native functions now supplied with Matrix3D in Flash 10:

camera.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(x y, z);

the prepend methods basically apply a transformation to an object before it's transformation matrix is applied. so to move forward 10, you simply do:

camera.transform.matrix3D.prependTranslation(0 0, 10);

etc etc

hth!
