I’m trying to add a video to a Cylinder, i can do this on a plane with no problems, i understand the logic but i cant manage to get a cylinder in my 3d container always errors!.var file = “testbg.flv”;

var videoTexture = new VideoTexture(file,512,512,true,true);

var textureMaterial = new TextureMaterial(videoTexture);

var _film = new CylinderGeometry(textureMateria,300,100,100,true);

_container.addChild(_film) //

this is wrong but i would like help how to get this to work, i have look at the documentation and examples online but they refer to the 3.6 not the current version..
Thanks

Solved i needed to add the mesh.

Primitives have change in the way they are created. They now extend Geometry, which by itself does not have a material and can not be added as a child to an ObjectContainer3D.

Take a look at the CylinderGeometry class and scroll down to the very end of the file. You’ll find the constructor and will see what arguments you need to use.

But what about material and how to add to _container?
Use a Mesh like this:

The same applies for all other primitives. Are you sure you’re using the most recent Gold version of Away3D?

Cheers!

the line below was the problem:

textureMaterial it was using this as a size, surprised it didn’t throw an error? so it was too large to render, but i worked it out i got my movie playing on a cylinder…

iv got the latest away3d using it with trial flash CS6, not familiar with any others…

learning away3d has its moments….
