Flash glossary: 3D perspective angle
The Perspective Angle property of a FLA file controls the apparent angle of view of 3D movie clips on the Stage in Adobe Flash Professional.
Increasing or decreasing the Perspective Angle property affects the apparent size of 3D movie clips and its location relative to the edges of the Stage: increasing it makes 3D objects appear closer to the viewer, while decreasing it makes 3D objects appear farther away. The effect is like zooming in or out with a camera lens, which changes the angle of view through the lens.
The Perspective Angle property affects all 3D movie clips. The default value is 55° of view, like a normal camera lens (the range is 1–180°).
Select a 3D movie clip on the Stage and then apply the changes using the Property inspector to see the angle changes appear on the Stage immediately.
