Today I’m going to create a 3D Box and animate it using the new 3D Tools and Features in Flash CS4.
Step 1: Create a square shape
Start by drawing out simple square. Hold down the shift key to constrain the proportions. Now lets change the solid fill to a gradient by going the color palette, and lets change the type to a Linear gradient. Next lets remove the stroke, just goto the stroke color picker and choose the None option.
Now lets make sure our square is in the center of the stage, we can do that by going to the align panel and click on the horizontal and vertical align buttons.

So recently I got a hold of the new update for BeatMaker and I’ve been playing with it pretty thoroughly. I decided I’d do a review and a tutorial on how to make custom drum kits.
New Features BeatMaker 1.3
So first, Lets take a look at the the upgraded sequencer. With the introduction to the new preview bar, it makes it easy to scrub through long patterns. We can now zoom in and out of the sequencer and can now insert and remove bars on the timeline.
Next there’s the dynamic access bar which lets us quickly jump between different settings. We can now quickly switch between patterns while in the editor. Drum patterns can now be up to 4 bars long and The “step resolution” can now be edited up to 1/64T.
But wait, there’s more!
Advanced Layer Comp Workflow
In a past episode, we talked about using layer comps to save time when building out websites. Today I’m going to take a closer look at layer comps, and show you how they can change the entire look of your project. So lets say your client likes the layout… but ask you to change the color scheme. Lets also say our client doesn’t know exactly which colors to choose. Instead of picking just one, our client suggests several color schemes. Best way to do this (in a non-destructive way) is to use Layer Comps.
Step 1: Create a new layer comp.
First, save our project’s current state, so lets open up the layer comps palette and click the create new button. Lets go over these three check boxes.
