David,

Thanks for the reply. In Halo 3 intro, a visitor can move through an
environment that is seemingly 3D. The website is:
http://halo3.com/believe/shell.html

Are 3rd party AS3 libraries or examples avail?

Gotcha. Yeah, that's not Silverlight at all (you can tell by
right-clicking/ctrl-clicking the display). I honestly don't know if
Silverlight can do something like this -- my guess is, it can -- but in any
case, this looks to me like either a video sequence that is being moved
frame-by-frame, or a (reeeeally long) series of still images. This Halo 3
example is very nicely done.

If it's a series of still images, you could pull off something like this
with the code suggestion I made to another person recently. (This is really
the same principle as a click-and-drag rotation presentation -- like the a
QTVR rotation movie -- only instead of a sequence if stills, you're
displaying a motion sequence.)

What you're seeing isn't 3D at all. There are 3D APIs available. The
most notable that comes to mind is Papervision3D:
