3D Rotation in ActionScript 3.0
First create a rectangular shape with a dynamic text field on top. Add the instance variable "mtxt" to the text field. Change the whole graphic into a movie clip and set the linkage to "MyClip". We're done, next is the coding to dynamically add text and rotate the shape.

}
addChild(clip);
myInterval = setInterval(rotate,10);
}
private function rotate():void{
if(clip.rotationY == 400){
myID = 1;
} else if (clip.rotationY == 0){
myID = 0;
}
if(myID == 1){
clip.rotationY -=2;
} else{
clip.rotationY +=2;
}
}
}
}
That's it. Enjoy!
