Ok, would be nice to understand the math behind getting a perfect circle in "Z" direction. I realize it's not "real" 3D, it's a combination of movement in x direction and zoom in/out alpha and blur.If I try changing any of the values it goes bezerk, or should I say bezierk Another approach would be if I could load the "ring of logos" as an external MC, but with me being new AS3 I wouldn't know how. I could then move this clip in any direction like in Old flash (nested animation levels). Any ideas?

I didn't create AS this but I'm trying to modify it. It's a set of logos that looks/simulates like they rotate in 3d. I'm resizing the stage to a landscape from standing format. I just want to move the entire group of logos to center them to the stage, and may also widen the circle a bit. Been messing with this params but there's heavy math involved to get a smooth and natural looking motion. private var posX:Array = new Array(0,170,122,42,-60); private var posY:Array = new Array(215,215,215,215,215); private var bezierX:Array = new Array(140,150,82,0,-80); private var bezierY:Array = new Array(216,215,215,215,220); Isn't there a global global parameter somewhere to set the "centerpoint" of the entire rotate?
