I added very simple animation effect just to demonstrate that it actually is 3d and rotates.

Note: I left final 6th side out on purpose.

No special instructions to run this code, just drop it into actions editor and preview your movie.

Initially i had difficulty attaching a sprite created inside a class onto the stage. I haven't found documentation yet that explains the right way of doing it but i did stumble onto my own solution. I will not know whether this is the right way of doing it until i find some documentation that explains it. If some one has a tip please leave a comment.

I instantiated my class from the main FLA using the following code passing 'this' into the construct. "This" represents /stage/ in this file :
