I’m fairly new to Away3d, but have spent the last few days playing around with the broomstick version and fp11 - i’m very impressed already and should be making more regular visits to this site and forums in the future hopefully…
We have a client that needs a small 3d job doing but needs to be targeted at flash player 9 - so i’m using the v2.5.2 build.
I have a rotating cube (original i know) which has interactive elements on each of the faces, and the faces also include text fields.
I’m using the MovieMaterial and applying movieclips as the faces.
I’m trying to figure out what the best tricks are for rendering text in this version of Away3d? Are the TextField3D and VectorText classes only avaiable in later versions…and would they be the thing to use anyway to produce crisper text rendering? I’m not sure. At the moment i’m just embedding static textfields from the library / symbol instance but there are rasterizing issues when viewed at an angle.
Any help/tips to improve the look would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sean
