What are the pros and cons of various Flash 3D engines with regards to performance on mobile devices? Which do you prefer -- which have you tried (examples of apps developed) implementing on mobile devices?

View 2 RepliesI am currently digging into the whole Flash 3D stuff and I am quite unsure which engine I should use. I really prefer haXe for development but ActionScript 3 is also fine.My current candidates are:
Papervision3D
Alternativa3D
Sandy 3D (only engine with native haXe version)
Away3D
I am kind of new to flash and I want my flash site to get the best results from search engines.So I found SWFOBJECT is this the way to go? Also how do I use it? Is there any learning videos out on the web.

View 1 RepliesIs there any clear view on how to build 3d apps in flash? I have heard of paperview(?) and recently saw something called Away3d. Are there any other choices and any clear leaders?

View 1 RepliesWhen I was using Flash CS4, it published a HTML file that showed the text content of the movie, which made it easy for search engines to index the site. However, in Flash CS5.5, I notice it doesn't appear to do that anymore.
What do I do (step-by-step) to make my movie content visible to search engines?
we have values generator that outputs someting like FF00FF5F. We have some coordinates like 50, 300, 10. We want to draw a point in 3d on stage. Not using PV3d or anething like that. thay say there is going to be no default z sorting but I can live with that...
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have a plain HTML website. More than 80% of my visitors are usually from search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. What I want to do is to make my whole website in Flash.However, search engines can't read information from Flash or JavaScript. That means my web page would lose more than half of the visitors.So how do I show show HTML pages instead of Flash to the search engines?
Note: you could reach a specific page/category/etc in Flash by using PHP GET function, for example: you can surf trough all the web pages from the homepage and link to a specific web page by typing page?id=1234.
Is there a way to increase traffic for flash web site. Is there an action script to make your flash website "visible" for others. I heard that if I build a flash web site it will be difficult to get customers due to the fact that flash pages usually don't show up in the data bases. Is it right?
so anyhow is there a way to increase traffic or make my flash site "visible' in search engines. do you think building a splash page in html and then redirect them to flash is a good idea?
I am building a website which loads some collada objects for each area. But I couldn't manage to clean the memory. It seems impossible to kill the objects.
I've found some samples implementing destroy() methods for away3d internal classes, but they're not working as well.
I cannot apply a texture to an object, I don't know why.( AS3 blender export script and Collada Import is not working for me either )
var loader:Loader3D = new Loader3D();
loader.addEventListener( Loader3DEvent.LOAD_SUCCESS,
handler_loadSuccess );
var parser:Obj = new Obj();
loader.loadGeometry( "assets/objects/Test.obj", parser );

i have a small question concerning away3D. I have some cubes with the exact same dimensions that are positioned in the same place. When i click on the stack of cubes, i want to register a click on the cube i added last. Instead of doing this, the click is registered on the cube i added first.
I have found a way to alter the cubes position in the container and have tried putting the element at the end (code below) and start of the childrenArray, but nothing seems to work. I am kinda really stuck here, so if anyone knows how to get the top level element when clicking on the stack, i'd be happy to hear.

when I try to render a cube using Away3D + Molehill, I only get a white default screen, I followed the instructions here: hhe only thing I did not do, was the part that talks about the patch, cuz If I do that I get errors like when I try to import the Sprite class, for example.Im using FB 4.5.!
This is my code:

I've been trying to test out Away3D engine on Flash CS5.5, and I've been getting lots of errors. I have downloaded playerglobal.swc and placed it, edited player xml file and configured it for flash to use FP11. In Flash, I have chosen Flash player 11 to be used. But when I try to create a new View3D object:
var view:View3D=new View3D();
I get an output error (not a compiler error) of:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display3D.textures::Texture could not be found.
How to port Away3d scene with animation into PV3d? Are there any tutorials on how to do that?
View 1 RepliesSo I have some 3d points generator that gives points like
{1,1,1}
{1,2,3}
{1,3,3}
[code].....
So I know that PV3d looks quite dead. But it is documented over the internet much better. So I decided to develope my product using old but good PV3d engine. Time goes on so I plan to port it sooner or later to Away3d. So I need a list of things that aere not in Away3d that I have in PV3d. And a list of generall use diffrencies (use of cameras, viewports, etc). So where to get comparing list of papervision3d vs Away3d?
View 1 RepliesI am having a difficult time setting the width of a WireframeMaterial. Things were working well until I upgraded to from 2.5 to 3.6
I am doing: var mat = WireframeMaterial(0xff0000, {width:4, alpha:alphaValue});
but that's not working at all the width is still set to 1
I am having some problems with the away3D library. I want to apply a bend to a cube using AS3DMod, but i can't seem to get it working. My cubes kind of get mutilated when i want to bend them :p they bend to all directions and i can't seem to find a pattern in the bending.

I have a Plane and I try tweening a MovieClipSprite on it. I run into trouble when I try to tween near the points where both segment triangles meet (I have kept both segments as 1), While moving near these points the Sprite disappears. I can tell it goes beneath the Plane because when it reappears it does so gradually and I can see it's lower half appearing as it moves away from these points. Increasing the segments obviously deteriorates the performance further as this begins to happen at other points as well. I am pasting some relevant code var planeMaterial:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(texture.bitmapData, {smooth: true, precision: 4});

I have a grails application using jquery mobile. I am hoping to find some way to access the camera on the devices. I thought about using flash to grab the webcam but that obviously wont work on Apple devices. Does anyone know of a way to do it and keep it all browser based? I am hoping that there is a plugin somewhere or maybe html5 has some magic in there that supports it.

View 3 RepliesI have always animated objects using an Enter Frame event (ie. slide it 5 pixels to the right every frame). I am seeing many companies I work at using the TweenLite tweening engine to animate objects. Is there some special magic these tweening engines do that makes them better? If I wanted to side a ball across the screen over a time span of 100 frames, would using an Enter Frame be any different than using the tween engine? Or would they have the exact same result?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for general recomendations and tutorials in regards to learning to integrate engines and library code into my projects. I think I have the very basics of AS3 sorted, or at least I know how to figure them out (alot due to this forum).
