Hi.I really love this amazing API and try to play it.

I created two Sprite3Ds and set the same BitmapMaterial to both.
Then I got folllowing Error.

RangeError: Error #1125: The index 0 is out of range 0.
at away3d.entities::Entity/get zIndex()
at away3d.core.sort::RenderableSorter/blendedSortFunction()
at Vector.<*>$/_sort()
at Vector$object/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::sort()
at away3d.core.sort::RenderableSorter/sort()
at away3d.core.render::RendererBase/render()
at away3d.core.render::DefaultRenderer/render()
at away3d.containers::View3D/render()

Did I make a mistake in any ways ?

I want to create many Sprite3Ds that appearance?are the same.
So I think it is a waste that I create 100 BitmapMaterials and transport it to GPU for 100 Sprite3Ds.

Once I transported BtmapData to GPU, I can create a number of BitmapMaterials using one, I search for such way.

Thanks.

that error happens when a Vector hasn’t been initialized properly. Are you using a Vector to step through your Sprite3D’s? If not, then the devs musta have changed something that is causing it

Thanks for your reply.
I used Vector, but I reproduce the same Error without using Vector in short code.

playerglobal.swc provided with Flash Player Incubator 11.0.1.3
Away3D 4.0.0 Alpha

package {
import away3d.cameras.Camera3D;
import away3d.containers.Scene3D;
import away3d.containers.View3D;
import away3d.entities.Sprite3D;
import away3d.materials.ColorMaterial;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

public class Main extends Sprite {
  public var viewport:View3D;
  public var camera:Camera3D;
  public var scene:Scene3D;

  public function Main(){
  viewport = new View3D();
  addChild(viewport);
  camera = viewport.camera;
  scene = viewport.scene;
  //
  var material:ColorMaterial = new ColorMaterial(0xff0000);
  var sp1:Sprite3D = new Sprite3D(material, 100, 100);
  sp1.x = 200;
  scene.addChild(sp1);
  var sp2:Sprite3D = new Sprite3D(material, 100, 100);
  sp2.x = -200;
  scene.addChild(sp2);
  //
  addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _render);
  }

  private function _render(e:Event):void {
  viewport.render();
  }

}

}

In my Enviroment, it causes Run Time Error.
Please try this code to confirm if this causes the Error.

Thanks.

seems like you have some extraneous code in there. Unlike 3.6 you don’t have to explicitly assign the scene and camera. This code worked for me:

Thanks for your reply.

I explicitly assigned scene and camera to operate 3D root container and camera easily, but it seems not to be necessary in Away3D 4.0, thanks.

I tried your code, but got the same Error.
And I set the following code comment out, it works correctly.
//view.scene.addChild(sp2);

...Is my environment something wrong?

which environment are you using? I use FlashDevelop and have to set -swf-version=13 and custom path to Flex 4.5.1 in compiler options, output to the browser molehill player, and use the playerglobal.swc that works with molehill

I use Flash CS5
Because to display one Sprite3D works correct, I think I build my environment correctly.

ummm…
