Camera View

Question

Okay I'm trying this tutorial on kirupa.com that talks about
3D. I'm not advanced in actionscript at all. I need help
understanding what's going wrong with this code. What is suppose to
happen is you're suppose to be able to zoom in or your suroundings
move. The URL is
Here
My code is below.
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
origin = new Object();
origin.x = 150;
origin.y = 150;
focalLength = 300;
figureA.x = -50;
figureA.y = 0;
figureA.z = 0;
figureA.dir = 1;
speed = 20;
backAndForth = function(){
this.z += speed*this.dir;
if (this.z > 500){
this.z = 500;
this.dir = -1;
}else if (this.z < 0){
this.z = 0;
this.dir = 1;
var scaleRatio = focalLength/(focalLength + this.z);
this._x = origin.x + this.x * scaleRatio;
this._y = origin.y + this.y * scaleRatio;
this._xscale = this._yscale = 100 * scaleRatio;
this.swapDepths(-this.z);
figureA.onEnterFrame = backAndForth;
Someone please help me understand what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Nikki

It depends on how you've implemented the single camera views. If you have separate JComponents displaying each view, you can just add them to a parent container and lay them out however you want. You could also use JInternalFrames and line them up like uj said. The second way would make it easier for you to let the user move them around, if that's what you want.
