This is a thing which I suppose I have been working on for almost a year and a half: An isometric view, rotating height map created only using the built-in capabilities of Flash 9. Well, I have been kicking the idea around for a year and a half. I began to build something out in Flash 8 late last summer, but as soon as the new plug-in was released, it stopped working. This new version I built from scratch in about a week.

Click on the above screenshot to see it in action. Warning: It is quite processor intensive. It won’t crash your computer, but you will probably hear all of the fans kick on. And the file is less than 2k in size.
