Is it possible to make nice looking flash buttons in Plasma?

Ah but of course it is sir, Plasma will allow you to make pretty much whatever you want in 3D, and render it out to a Flash file.

However you will not get a button-button, ie. something you can click on. Plasma only exports stills and animations and such, it does not do any code. You still need Flash MX or the likes to hook up the logic that drives the whole button-thing. But you can make a cool-looking button-graphic, and it'll be damn easy to animate as well, since, hey, it's 3D, so everything pretty much goes :)

if i were to make a button that has a cube attached to it

when you hover over the button the cube attacked to the button will spin.

You can make the spinning cube in Plasma, yes, but you would have to use Flash MX to tie the button into triggering the spinning-cube animation.

Plasma outputs Flash stuff, but does not have any programming-capabilities, you can't get a Flash file that has trigger-stuff and such just by using Plasma.

I hope they allow that in Version 2.

Also with the spinning cube, does Flash allow shockwave player cubes..

I mean, I haev noticed that the Flash output is more 2Dish and the Shockwave is like cool because it allows textures..
