can anybody help me? how can I draw and animate 3d objects in flash?
 
what 3d program are you using?<br>the drawing tools in flash are limited to actually create 3d objects. You can play around with the bucket tool in gradient mode and it will create cool spheres and other objects, but it is not very good for shadows and light effects.<br><br>You can use other 3d program to create the object and then import it as a 2d image into Flash, then try to animate it, but it is hard and the animation doesn't look as natural as with other programs.
 
your best bet is to get a swf renderer for your 3d program, create the animation in the 3d program and export to swf and then import to flash, if you are interested here is a plugin for 3DS max&nbsp;&nbsp;at <A HREF=" TARGET="_new">
