Keep in mind its not an engine but rather a set of APIs to help developers create their own game engines. The top 3 goals of this API are:

speedy development

simple API

performance oriented

That a good Library ^^ May some exemple on interactivity can help all user =)
I post my exemple but i’m not sure it’s the best method to do that =/

Press Arrow for move the box or press Shift+Up/Down for Z moving

import as3isolib.core.ClassFactory;
import as3isolib.core.IFactory;
import as3isolib.display.IsoView;
import as3isolib.display.primitive.IsoBox;
import as3isolib.display.renderers.DefaultShadowRenderer;
import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoGrid;
import as3isolib.display.scene.IsoScene;
import as3isolib.enum.RenderStyleType;

import flash.display.Sprite;

var box:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
box.styleType = RenderStyleType.SHADED;
box.faceColors = [0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff];
box.faceAlphas = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1];
box.setSize(25, 30, 40);
box.moveTo(0, 0, 10);

var box2:IsoBox = new IsoBox();
box2.width = 30;
box2.length = 30;
box2.height = 30;
box2.x = 40;
box2.y = -40;
box2.z = 50;
box2.id = “MovingBox”;

var grid:IsoGrid = new IsoGrid();
grid.moveTo(0, 0, 0);
grid.cellSize = 25;
grid.showOrigin = false;

var factory:IFactory = new ClassFactory(DefaultShadowRenderer);
factory.properties = {shadowColor:0×000000, shadowAlpha:0.15, drawAll:false};

var scene:IsoScene = new IsoScene();
scene.addChild(box);
scene.addChild(box2);
scene.addChild(grid);
scene.styleRenderers = [factory];
scene.render();

var view:IsoView = new IsoView();
view.setSize(400, 400);
view.scene = scene;//look in the future to be able to add more scenes
addChild(view);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,Moving);

function Moving(e:KeyboardEvent) {

//trace(”>”+e);

//Fleche Gauche
if (e.keyCode == 37) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x-1;
view.scene.render();
}
//Fleche Haut
if (e.keyCode == 38) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z-1;
} else {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y-1;
}
view.scene.render();
}
//Fleche Droite
if (e.keyCode == 39) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].x+1;
view.scene.render();
}
//Fleche Bas
if (e.keyCode == 40) {
if (e.shiftKey) {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].z+1;
} else {
view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y = view.scene.children[IDChild("MovingBox")].y+1;
}
view.scene.render();
}
trace(”~>”+view.scene.children);
}

function IDChild(Identifiant:String):int{
return view.scene.getChildIndex(view.scene.getChildByID(Identifiant));
}

Many thanks, both for the lib and the new tutorial. I look forward to seeing (and maybe one day contributing to) your progress.

This is a wonderful lib. Coming from J2ME background this really makes my understanding of isometric geometry in flash easy.

Here is a tutorial on IsoView. More about the IIsoView methods in another tutorial soon – http://code.google.com/p/as3isolib/wiki/as3isolib_tutorial_005

@Ozren
The IsoView is basically a viewport that does basic camera-type things like panning, zooming, focusing on an object, focusing on a pt.

I tell you what, when I get some time in the next day or so, I will make a tutorial on it.
