i need to make a loader on flash or a simple label who say "wait, the model is loading". This is the part of my script were i load the model, but how to control the loading process.
Code:
private function _onInit(e:Event):void {
_earth = new DAE();
_earth.load('model/hfarm.DAE');

I'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?
im very new at papervision3d, i know in order to display a .DAE model i use this

But how can i do in order to use VRML models (.WRL).
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 an animated collada of envelope module that have an animation of opening itself
now for seeing both sides of the envelope i set the
oneSide = false
i added for tests a ColorMaterial.
but what i want is to have 1 color in the outside faces and another color in the inside faces
I have created a cube using Papervision3D where the back face has an image and some text, and the right face has an image and some text and contains a URL. I want the back face (the one facing the user) to wait for a MOUSE_OVER event then roll 90 degrees to the right and present the right face to the user. The right face then waits for 2 mouse events: either a MOUSE_CLICK, which will launch the URL, or a MOUSE_OUT, which should cause the cube to roll 90 degrees back to the left and present the back face again to the user. I am using the Papervision3D and TweenMax libraries in my code, which looks like this:
//front1 = back face
//back1 = right face
front1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, handleRollOver);

View 2 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?
Everything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.
I need to develop a cube that contain 10 little cubes and manipulate everyone like an object.

I'm updating the start and end points of a Line3D object in Papervision3D. The end result works fine but there seems to be a lag from when I move the objects and for the line to redraw in the right position. I'm using the following code:

connectingLine.v0.y = startDisObj.sceneY;
connectingLine.v0.z = startDisObj.sceneZ;

ive got two template which ive seen online which i would like to make now purchasing them cost quite a lot so im looking to make these templates one or the other here the info on the templates:
template 1: templateaction.com/space-cube-flash-cms-template
template 2: templateaction.com/cube-flash-cms-template
on the website if you click live preview you will know what im looking for. now i researched a bit and notice that the cube in these templates is made in papervision3d and found a tutorial on that:gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=68 now how can i make one or the other of these templates as their are the exact thing im looking for, for my project can anyone help me out. editing the cube is not a problem i could make it on click go to websites or scenes in flash, but the thing is im not a expert in flash or papervision3d so i need help to get the type of features in the templates on the cube.

make dynamic textfield, convert it to moviematerial then apply it to the faces of cube. Design a bitmap using any picture editor and make a bitmapFileMaterial to apply on faces of cube.

View 1 RepliesAre there any custom libraries available that allow me to code/publish in CS3 using some of the features of CS4?
EDIT: I say "some", because I understand that it is obviously nearly impossible to reimplememnt CS4 in CS3.
I have an object in Papervision3d that the user needs to be able to zoom into a considerable amount. At Flash's maximum bitmap size of 2880x2880 the texture is too blurred at the maximum zoom. Even going beyond this to the sizes available in Flash 10 do not help.Is there any way to build a BitmapMaterial that can pull from a set of tiled 2880x2880 images?Is there any other way to load a larger texture into Papervision3D?
View 1 RepliesI've started using Shared Libraries and this subject peaked my interest... does Flash still have load timing issues with Shared Libraries? I found a few site online that mention that your Flash project will load but if it didn't have time to load your Shared Library, it simply won't load it and you are out of luck. Is this still true with the latest version of Flash? If so, how do I preload the library to make sure it doesn't happen?

I would like to include Flash Live Media Encoder libraries (i.e. support for Flash Media Streaming) in an application I am developing. Ideally, this would be without having to install the FMLE Gui (though I can live with that); in a manner similar to WireCast or Tricaster. Could someone explain how one might go abount legally "bundling" FMLE 3.2 support etc.

I'd like to port a Flash application to iPhone.I like flash for a lot of reasons and would prefer to use it for content generation. However there are a few downsides I am told, like at least 3.5 MB per app.So while using Flash would make it easier to extend the current pipeline to include iPhone content, I was wondering what other choices are there for dealing with vector assets. I'm looking to bring in assets from Flash (or illustrator) easily, be able to add placeholders that can be replaced, and package them so that they can be updated easily from iOS.
Will most likely end up outsourcing the app creation, but I would like to know what the choices are before deciding what route to go.
