How to anti-alias a collada model in papervision3D?I've tried searching everywhere but didn't find any ways to anti-alias models. I've also tried blurring it a little as an anti-alias method but that only f-s it up and makes it look worse.How do I do that properly?

View 1 RepliesI have a Collada (.dae) file that I found on Google's 3d Warehouse. Using Away3d, I'm able to load the file and display it on my view using the following code:
var object3d = Collada.parse(FooXML, { material:"white", x:0, y:0, z:0 });
view.scene.addChild(object3d);
The problem is that it's just floating out in space and no matter how I adjust the position via .x, .y, or .z, it never moves from its spot. I'm using Flash cs4 and the latest stable release from Away3d.
I have a Flash file that I use to load in transparent PNG's (line-drawings), and use Flash to allow the user to select the color of drawing, and instantly change the color.This is all working like it should be.I am using the UILoader component to load in the image that I recieve through flashvars, and then change the color if needed.The only thing, that the image sometimes appears not very smooth. I have seen various articles where people talk about using smoothing=true on a bitmap. But I am not quiet sure where to set this, or how this works.I left out the changeColor() and getFlashvars() function, and the import lines. because I don't think it is relevant here, and to keep everything as simple and short as possible.

Why is it that verdana without anti-alias-ing looks goodin photoshop but looks horrible in flash.
View 1 RepliesBut now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]?
View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with the anti-alias that is applied to my text.I am using a sans-serif narrow font and this problem appears based on the color that I set to the text.From 000000 to c8c8c8, the font is displayed properly. From c9c9c9 to ffffff, the font is displayed with what I think is a lot of anti-alias, so much that it looks like it is bold.I have tested a different font and this is not happening with other fonts.
View 3 RepliesI'm doing a project using FLARManager augmented reality and the Papervision3D library. Unfortunately, Papervision is giving me a lot of problems.My scene3D contains a DAE model and a plane. The plane has a MovieMaterial and is playing a video through FLVPlayback. The DAE and the plane are both inside the same DisplayObject3D container. FLARManager transforms the container so that everything appears through the angle of the marker.
My DAE model is a TV, the screen of the TV is transparent. I want to have my Plane inside of my DAE model, so that the Movie playing on the plane material appears to be what is playing on the TV.The problem is that, even if the plane has a lower Z index then the TV, it always appears in front of the TV.
How do I have my plane and its MovieMaterial appear behind the TV, so that some of its corners are cut out by the TV and the part of the TV thats transparent let me see the Movie? If its impossible, anyone has an idea of how I could get the desired effect of having a movie play on the screen of my DAE tv model?

But how can i do in order to use VRML models (.WRL).
I have a Flex component with a background image. The image is sharp in the beginning, but is jagged whenever I scale the component using scaleX and scaleY. How would I make the image anti-alias so that, it it's scaled to 0.75, the lines are smooth, not jaggedy?
View 2 RepliesI've been trying all day to get the Papervision3D Collada Basics tutorial to work and every time I run the file I end up with an empty black screen. No matter what I've tried i cannot get anything to show up. Finally I had the idea to download the source files from the tutorial and run those 'as is' without changing anything. When I opened the SWF created by Lee, all i saw was the same blank black screen. Has anyone else run into this? All other Flash files seem to be fine,

I have a font embedded for a List component. It displays the text anti-aliased, but I would really like to have Flash display the text in the component as "anti-alias for readability," .
View 6 RepliesI wonder if it is possible at all to anti-alias text fields with the HTML property set to true.
Currently I already have an operation HTML text field with embedded font which loads an external CSS for styling.
I have a textfield with dynamic text which I populate with text via actionscript. The textfield is set to anti-alias for readability but when I change the text in actionscript it is not ant-aliased anymore. I tried enforcing it with
createAccount.embedFonts = true;
createAccount..antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
When timeline animating in the Flash IDE, you can set the anti-aliasing of a TextField to Anti-alias for Animation. This seems to turn off pixel snapping and allow for smooth animation of the TextField.
I can't seem to find anyway to access this property via code
I now officially hate the textArea component but that's not the point now. A couple of questions:1. How to make the textArea text NOT selectableit is NOT a textField so don't post .selectable = false, that doesn't work.2. How to make it anti-alias decently. Right now it doesn't look that smooth.I use this code:
Code:
var verdanaFont:Font = new Verdana();
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

when I create a medium or large text block, Flash (cs4) starts to work very slow, only a objet move or a click on stage takes a lot of time to process. My computer features should be ok... 4gb ram, intel 2 core duo 2.4 hz... The only thing that I think can be a problem is that I'm using Windows Vista 64 bit.
View 9 RepliesIf we place a dynamic text box on the stage manually, we can set the anti-alias for readability, for animation, use device fonts, etc. How can these attributes be added to a text box dynamically created with code?I looked up anti alias in help and there appears to just be normal and advanced options?

I created the textfield through actionscript instead of placing a textfield on stage.
Code:

How can i use a bitmap text (no anti-alias at all), i can't find that option , the same option that exists in the classic text field.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to import a DAE file, and it gets put on the stage, but for some reason I cannot control the scale of it. I know you have to pass a 3rd param to the Collada() constructor to be the scale, but no matter what I put there, it doesnt change the scale.Alas, I cannot get the scaleX or scaleY or scaleZ to change anything.Just need to know how to adjust the size/scale of this model.

View 7 Replieswhen adding a mask to a parent sprite with a dynamic text field, the text loses anti-aliasing. how can i maintain the text's anti-alias while still applying a mask to its parent, and subsequently to itself.the font is embedded, and the text field will be animated so it must also be masked along with its parent.

I'm working with swf's generated by InDesign CS5, which will apparently only export text as staticText objects. Is it possible to alter the anti-alias of staticText? I want to make it for readability, but it defaults to animation with no apparent way of changing it. I recently got help for textFields, but I can't seem to get it to work on staticText.

View 1 RepliesAs it is said here: [URL] "If you do a Google search today for "MVVM and Flex", the first post is by somebody who claims that MVVM is not a good fit for Flex. I couldn't disagree more. Out of the box, the Flex framework makes it much easier to implement a Presentation Model than similar MVVM implementations in Silverlight. That is not to say that there aren't good third-party libraries that make it easier in Silverlight, but without any help, it is easier to do in Flex." So MVVM as LOGICAL CONCEPT can be implemented in both but the way it is implemented in Silverlight requires more Plumbing than Flex.
What prevents Silverlight MVVM to be implemented like Flex ? Doesn't Silverlight have same capability in event system to do the same? If yes why does Silverlight do things more complicated what's the advantages then ? Is it about using Class Interfaces which are more strongly typed? What are the disadvantages also ? For example as for implementing MULTIPLE VIEWS for 1 View-Model does Flex implementation make it also more obvious?
