Away3D Forum 3DSParser error with null reference/object. Works with ObjParser

3DSParser error with null reference/object. Works with ObjParser Software: Away3D 4.x

empend, Member Posted: 17 January 2012 04:19 AM Total Posts: 77 When I try loading my model as a .3ds I get this error: `TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at away3d.loaders.parsers::Max3DSParser/proceedParsing() at away3d.loaders.parsers::ParserBase/onInterval() at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch() at flash.utils::Timer/tick()` When I load the same model exported as a .obj, it works. I’m assuming this is just a bug. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I also changed the context for the loader3D, so it doesn’t load other files. I think I’ll use an OBJ parser I made, it works 100%, but only with certain settings. It was made in a day, so I wasn’t going to work too hard on it. Away3D’s ObjParser only works when I turn off “objects as OBJ objects”, and when I turn it off the meshes are combined. At least if I used my own I would be able to have each mesh… If someone still has a fix, I would rather use the Away3D parsers!
