I have been keeping a close ear to the grapevine on the issue of Flash 4

supporting 3D, and from everything that I have heard so far, it will not.

Granted, I have not heard anything directly from a Macromedia source. I know

that there are Macromedia folks on this list, can any of you comment on the

new functionality in the Flash 4 beta?


Regarding 3D support, one possibility is that MM is opting to ignore it

because there are third party aps that already render 3D. Many of these

companies have developed (or are planning to) plugins that will allow the

export of 3D in vector format. Right now, Adobe Dimensions and Rhino 3D both

export vector sequences (.ai I believe). Hopefully in the near future other

aps will have the ability to export 3D vectors as well.
