The <code>angleXBy</code>, <code>angleYBy</code>, and <code>angleZBy</code> properties were removed around 6/17, added workaround in example above. Peter Example(s) updated to Flex SDK build 4.0.0.8974 (but didn’t update SWF yet).

I then pass this referance into an external AS class's constructor.. it works! then I have a couple of questions: does all of this UI creation via an exturnal ".as" file, require as I have done, that one actually define and construct a full package/class? I was unable to get the "[Embed("assets/Fx2.png")]" logic to work correctly in the ".as" file, thus I moved its creation back into the MXML file and just passed a reference to the image into the ".as" class file's logic...... While I do now have the external ".as" file's logic working.... I guess it would be good to see how the "pro"s would suggest structuring this approach to AS based component creation ... I do see that regularizing the outside UI container was likely a good thing ( that is, not directly referencing the outside app object )..... but my hunch is that there are cleaner ways of getting all of this to work well... Your thoughts on any of this ? Cheers -Peter L.

I will do my best to return the favor, by helping look out for any Gumbo implementation issues still needing to be debugged.... I'm not sure if my current challenge is name space related or not... My hunch is that it may be... I'm trying to take as much of the Action Script code in your AS oriented Rotate3D example...and move as much of the AS code out of the MXML file and instead place most of it in a separate ".as" class file..... I'm then attempting to place this top level Action script file in the top level of the "src" folder..... I'm having a bit of trouble setting up the related top level package/class callijng implementation such that an instance of this top level class gets created so that it is visible on the screen, as before when all was in one MXML file and the AS was declared as a script...... Maybe, it just becuase I'm new to this, of perhaps there are some additonal Name space related thing that have come about recently.... I relize I'm asking a bit here with regards to your assistance.... I just figured I should best learn some of the more prefured coding habits early on... any input on how best to layout ones AS src files, as they would then relate to the top level MXML, would be quite instructive..... at this point my separate AS code file seems to run, but nothing appears on the screen. I currently have it extending the VGroup class.... Then, I'm not sure that is what I should be doing. To keep things simple, perhaps in a better coding style, you AS centric example could also be configured to employ a seprate ".as" file... Just food for thought. All the best -Peter Hi
