Flex Rotate3D Effect Example

Let us follow the following steps to check usage of Rotate3D Effect in a Flex application by creating a test application −

Once you are ready with all the changes done, let us compile and run the application in normal mode as we did in Flex - Create Application chapter. If everything is fine with your application, it will produce the following result: [ Try it online ]
