The Basic Movie

All right,let's start.
We'll begin by making our basic bricks, the framework for our tutorial. This part will be as short as possible since I suppose that if you are trying this tutorial, you already feel quite at ease with flash. If not, I suggest you study the Getting Started tutorials first.
These are the things we need:

Start by creating a new movie approximately 400*500 in size.
Then create 3 layers: actions, buttons, and lines. Create 4 frames on the two last layers and insert ten blank key-frames on the actions layer.
Now name these blank key frames in this order:

• "model", for loading the points and lines
• "start", for initiating all variables, etc.
• "loop", for the basic program loop
• "loop2"
• "draw", for the drawing routine
• "rotx", for the rotation around the x-axis
• "roty", guess
• "rotz", same again
• "zoom", for calculating the zoom
• "drawline", the line-drawing routine

Now we have the frame of our movie. Note that I am not making a preloader, you can do that all by yourselves!
