    copied!<p>I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and <a href="http://www.flashandmath.com/advanced/menu3d/" rel="nofollow" title="3D Menu on a Cube with Perspective, Distorting Images in ActionScript 3">Flash tutorial</a> </p> <p>I have set up listeners so when the mouse hovers over a cube it starts to rotate:</p> <pre><code>private function setUpListeners():void { spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut); } </code></pre> <p>That works fine. </p> <p>To begin the rotation of the cube when the mouse passes over it I have used:</p> <pre><code> private function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void { addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSquare); var i:int = 1; function rotateSquare(e:Event) { renderView(curTheta+i,curPhi+i); i++; } } </code></pre> <p>I can see why this would be inefficient, as it is running the loop every every frame, and for so many multiple cubes it just lags (very badly).</p> <p>Does anybody have a better method of doing this? I'd be happy to post more code if people need/require it. </p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>EDIT: I should clarify, i'm hoping for the rotation to continue indefinitely once the mouse moves off the cube. </p> <p>2nd EDIT:</p> <p>Here is how I am creating the cubes onto the "grid":</p> <pre><code>public function FlowerMenu(){ var rowY:Number = 0; for (var i:int = 0; i &lt; 190; i++) { var myCube = new CubeMenu(["anemon.jpg","parodia.jpg","anagallis.jpg","lila.jpg","cosmos.jpg","adonis.jpg"],100); myCube.x = 0 + ((i % 10) * 200); if (i % 10 == 0) { rowY += 200; } myCube.y = rowY; addChild(myCube); } </code></pre>
