I am newbie to away3d (using 4). Building a project in flash cs6 pro. Have seen several calls for help on this forum but no resolutions. Project runs fine until i apply AIR for iOS 3.7.0.1860 (and the rest of iOS) and I get:
Error #2044: Unhandled ErrorEvent:. text=Error #3702: Context3D not available.

All updates for air and flex SDKs in place and all fixes found on google search tried(mostly updating SDKs) even tried:

var options = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
options.renderMode = “direct”;
options.transparent = true;
options.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
options.renderMode = “direct”;
var nativeWindow = new NativeWindow(options);

it seemed weak and was in effective but am desperate. Any ideas out there?
Thanks for reading this.

first thing that springs to mind is the depthAndStencil flag, that gave me some trouble on Android (having tried iOS yet, but am planning to next week).
I would say it’s probably not that though, as it gives a different error.

Are you waiting for your app to initialise before adding view3D to the stage?
That’s another possible cause of this error.

public function AwayTest() 
  {
   super();
            addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
  }
  
  private function onAddedToStage(e:Event):void 
  {
   removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
   init();
  } 

Good Luck!

I’ll post here if I hit the same issue, or find a workaround…

flash cs would produce a xml file (e.g something-app.xml) in the directory where the fla file resides.

open it and add a line <depthAndStencil>true</depthAndStencil> inside initialWindow tag, like:

<initialWindow>
    <content>p2pboxing.swf</content>
    <systemChrome>standard</systemChrome>
    <transparent>false</transparent>
    <visible>true</visible>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <renderMode>direct</renderMode>
   <depthAndStencil>true</depthAndStencil>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients></initialWindow> 

this is how I do it, took me sometime to figure it out as well, I could not believe such an important tag is not configurable in Flash IDE, and proper information about it is scarce… I can only smell that Adobe is abandoning Flash… and too bad I still keep coming back to it.

Thanks for the tip, though it was not it. Your original thought was right it turned out to be the depthAndStencil. When researching it I found a post of similar context3D error fixed by adding:

      <renderMode>direct</renderMode>
      <depthAndStencil>true</depthAndStencil>

to the app xml, it did the trick.

appreciate the inputhttp://away3d.com/forum/smileys/#
