Show

_visible = true;

Iterate once through Newton's method.

len = (len + ((px * px + py * py + pz * pz + pq * pq) / len)) / 2;

len = (len + ((px * px + py * py + pz * pz) / len)) / 2;

Place the movie clip on the stage.

pos = /:POS_FACTOR_4D / len;
_x = - px * pos;
_y = - py * pos;

Approximate a scale value.

scale = /:SCALE_FACTOR_4D / (1 + len);
_xscale = scale;
_yscale = scale;

Hook the rotation up to the fourth dimension ...

_rotation = - pq * /:ROTATE_FACTOR_4D / len;
