Subject:	FLASH: Possible?: Import math formular in Flash to draw in 3D...

Hi,

I was trying to figurate out something which could be nice, according that:

1. Flash is a programm base on vector,
2. Vectors are based on Formular,
3. Formular are Math.

After this, to "draw" a circle with a math formular is equal to:
x�+y�=3� (where the raduis is 3 and the origine point a 0,0)

When I draw a circle in Flash, all what Flash is doing, probably, is to save
this formular with other informations.
If might look like something like this:

background="000000" width="550" height="400" rate="12"
object1=(name="circle", shape=x�+y�=3�, position=100/100, color="FFFFFF")

If this is what happend realy, this is why flash files are so small. Then the
flash player just read this text file and generat it again.
If you create a flash animation including a black circle and save it as
"Generator Template" and open it with Editor, you will see some text character.
They will not all be readeble but you will see at least : width="550"
height="400" rate="12", BINGO...

The question now is, is it possible to "send" to Flash a formular such as
x�+y�=3� and Flash will generate the proper shape.
If yes, this will be very nice because we will be able to draw in Flash very
complexe shapes and to put a variable on one or more of the arguments to be able
to interact with this shape to create 3D movements for exemple...

Sounds nice, isn't it!?

Cheers

Marc
