I finally managed to completely copy the flash internal perspective with a manual perspective.
In flash cs4, you can make a plane, say, a 100×100 plane sitting on (0,0). Then, you can rotate it in 3D, using the properties rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ. Say you would rotate it by x and y by 20 degrees each, you end up with a nice plane in perspective.
Now this is really cool, but if would be quite a pain to display a 3D mesh in such a way.

It has been ages since I last posted cause I have been really busy working on a 3d world in Unity3D to which I cannot yet show you a link, but you can see the presentation Paul gave on it here: http://www.adobeusergroup.nl/site/list_messages/270
Anyway as most flash developers know, in flash player 10 any sprite can have a 3D rotation and position to create the illusion of 3D. Now, I wanted to test out the latest version of the google maps flash api, so I figured why not throw the google map on a plane in 3D space and see if it still works.
Amazingly enough: it does!
