There is an issue with awd1 and conatiners and children.
Prefab always outputs a ‘main’ container even if your original model didn’t have one.
Also if you have your own container with children the hierarchy gets messed up. Everything just becomes a child of the main container ( or something like that). Think I posted something about that on the mailing list when Richard first did asset library.

It’s a known issue caused by a Prefab data to awd1 export bug.
Prefab’s passes the “work container” to the class instead of its child or children. It will be fixed in v2. In meanwhile simply access all you want one container deeper.

Fabrice ,the problem is that the container contains nothing when loading generated prims AWDs.Still haven’t tried imported models though .

If you export whole scene + image then you dont get any issues.
But if you export Selected object + image it breaks.

Again just tested with a cube primitive.

What are “generated prims AWDs”? You mean Prefab output containing primitives?

Have you guys logged this via Prefab report? Can’t remember seen this in reports…

Oh so now its our fault ))

On the container issue
Loading an awd1

private function onLoadComplete(e:LoaderEvent):void
{
  var m:ObjectContainer3D = AssetLibrary.getAsset(“main”) as
ObjectContainer3D
  view.scene.addChild(m);
  trace(m.getChildAt(0).name) //traces SimpleTruck_TrailerPivot0

Which works fine
but if I try instead

  var m:ObjectContainer3D =
AssetLibrary.getAsset(“SimpleTruck_TrailerPivot0”) as ObjectContainer3D
  view.scene.addChild(m);

It throws an error Error: Parameter child cannot be null.

Try addChild the children[0] of main.children[0]... one deeper

The point is, if you have a model that has a container as root (from your 3d app) you can’t use assetlibrary getAsset for anything other than the ‘main’ (prefab) container

Worked round it with getChildAt or made sure exported models to prefab didnt have a container as root.

@John ,Bingo! This is it .If I export a primitive and check selected object and not the whole scene ,the loaded model is empty,otherwise the model is loaded but its enclosed texture still throws the error I posted above.

Btw, the file you have sent me doesn’t load its image as well.

Oh yes it does

I would presume its something to do with the path that you set in URLRequest, where the image folder is related to the swf and the price of donkeys.

take a look at the iamge app to see if it will auto load images  i used to convert in C#, works fine for me

here is what i will doing for loading image vb.net.
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Imports RasterEdge.Imaging
Imports RasterEdge.Imaging.Processing

Dim Image As New RasterEdgeImaging()

Dim stream As New System.IO.FileStream(“C:\1.png”, System.IO.FileMode.Open)

Dim Image As New RasterEdgeImaging()
Image.LoadImageFromFileStream(“C:\1.png”, System.IO.FileMode.Open)
more you can find on loading image from url.
it supports all kinds of image formats, png tiff bitmap and some other formats as well. give a lookl, maybe you will find it is useful.
