Have you tried to change BlendMode.DARKEN to BlendMode.NORMAL?

“If someone knows how to solidify the colors so it does not look see thru let me know.”

The colours are solid. The problem here is that the depth of the FlexShapes still apply. What you are seeing is the squares at the back of the cube being drawn on top of the squares at the front because the ones at the back have a higher depth.

Flash 10 does not support “true 3D”. You still need to take care of little things like these.

the transparency is probably caused by how your setting your color…

Math.random()*0xFFFFFF

this is a uint so it will include a 4th byte for alpha, you can use a bit shift to remove the 4th byte before you use it as a color, then the alpha property in the beginFill method will take effect.
