I have picked this code from a turorial site and so far i can see there is nothing wrong but when i run this in the flash 11 debugger with flash builder 4.6 i get only a black screen with nothing in it. I have used the flash away3d 4.1 gold edition

  }
 }
} 

apprently everything is correct. But did you try change the camera position ?

The camera position is correct when i replace the code to use a color material like:

then i get a nice red rotating cube. so pls further help.

I have found a forum thread with the same problem here: http://away3d.com/forum/viewthread/4962/

Still wondering after reading that thread why it does not work. He said maybe an older version of away3d??

Thanks.

The quick answer would be SkyBoxMaterial and BitmapCubeTexture are intended for skyboxes ONLY. You should texture your cube with a regular texture instead.
