  Particle3d Class 
  Oct. 29, 2002
  (c) 2002 Robert Penner
  
  This custom object represents and renders a visual particle
  existing in a simulated three-dimensional space.
  The appearance of the particle is represented by an
  attachable movie clip, and its position by a Vector3d instance.
  
  Dependencies: 
  - Vector3d class
  - trig_functions_degrees.as
