3D Flash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

3D Flash describes the use of Adobe's Flash player to display simulated three dimensional environments using 2D computer graphics. Flash is primarily a two dimensional environment so typically a library is used to display and manage the three dimensional graphics.
