MovieClip in perspective

I would like to have a MovieClip that has a bit of depth. I can't use rotationX, rotationY or rotationZ because I have to use Flash CS3.

The first image is what I have now, a flat movieclip. The second is what I should have.

enter image description here enter image description here

I already tried using a matrix, but that didn't work. I posed a question about it, and there somebody sugested that I should use a 3D engine to get the result I want.

Since it was a MovieClip that had to be in 3D I used now a MovieClipSprite.

var movieClipSprite:MovieClipSprite = new MovieClipSprite(myMC);
var view:View3D = new View3D({x:200,y:200});
        
var cam:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
cam.zoom = 1;
cam.y = 100;            
view.camera = cam;
cam.lookAt(new Number3D(0, 0, 0));
    
this.addChild(view);
view.scene.addSprite(movieClipSprite);
view.render();

It didn't matter how I changed the camera, I always have got the same result. The flat movieclip.

Then I read in the Away3D documentation

MovieClipSprite: Spherical billboard (always facing the camera) sprite object that uses a movieclip as it's texture. Draws individual display objects inline with z-sorted triangles in a scene.

I think that's why it always gives the same result.

I also tried something with MovieMaterial, but I never have got that working.

Can you please help me to put my movieclip in perspective?

Thanks a lot!

Vincent

Is "view.render" in a enter_frame function ?

It worked for me with flashdevelop & Away3d 4.0 :

    public var aSprite:Plane = new Plane(new ColorMaterial(0xFF0000));
    public var cam:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
    public var view:View3D = new View3D(null,cam);

    public function test() 
    {
        this.addChild(view);

        var vec:Vector3D = new Vector3D();
        cam.y = -300;
        cam.lookAt(vec);

        view.scene.addChild(aSprite);
        this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
    }

    public function onFrame(e:Event):void
    {
        view.render();
    }
