Carousel3D(Sort of) and Spiral3D using Flash player 10 for Flex

Now the Carousel3D is not the best, i tried to replicate it like the one in Papervision, either there is a bug or my math is wrong since the images appear transparent if they overlap each other, i spent around 3 hours reading the Flash API trying to find a way to have them as solid but no luck, so if you know let me know so I can update it and make it into a full pledge component, the Spiral3D is something that I did when I was bored.

Here is the Link for the Carousel

About the carousel; I think you should somehow manage to change the depths of the items at the back of the carousel relative to their .z coordinate, so they don’t appear in front of the other movie clips.

Even when using .z, flash still sorts the depth of the objects via its old depth system and so any object which is added to the display list(via addChild) after another object, will appear in front, even if its .z coordinate is smaller than the previous object.

Cool examples, btw.
