Please bear with me. I need help with this I've been trying to do this for 2 weeks now.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a spinning cube made w/ Eric Lin's tutorial here: (http://ericlin2.tripod.com/skew/cube3d5t.html). I have the cube rotating so that the top of the box is always showing, which is not natural (if it keeps spinning just on the y axis, when it turns 180degrees, you should be able to see the bottom). The only way I could think of accomplishing this is by constantly rotating the cube on the y and z axis with the y having a high degree rotation than z so when applied together, it seems seemless.

Actionscript:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (_root.rotate) {
		_root.navigation.groupRotateZ(_root.navigation.pointArray,-1.2);
		_root.navigation.groupRotateY(_root.navigation.pointArray,-5);
		_root.navigation.updateClip();
		updateAfterEvent();

However, it is not perfect, as you can see. ANY OTHER WAYS TO ACHIEVE THIS?

Second problem, i want the cube to stop rotating when it reaches each face. Right now, i am using the setInterval to spin for 3 sec, then stop. However, depending on whether or not the computer skips when loading, the cube will not stop in the right place...I need something more concrete. I tried making an argument along the lines of

if (ptA==pt on the cube when the face is where i need it to be)

stopmovement();

But it is unsuccessful. Any ideas?

And finally, on the buttons on the right, when rolled over, I want them to spin to a specific face. Can anybody please help me? I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

why don't you just make it in some 3D tool, and then export?
