can someone tell me how to control meshes in a .awd file from .as file.
for example, if i had a cube mesh in awd imported into .as file, how would i rotate that cube, move it, or anything.  i just dont know the syntax to access the assets in the awd file from .as

thanks in advance

Yes someone can tell you.

Load your AWD with the Loader3D (and AWD2Parser).
In its ASSET_COMPLETE event, check the asset type or name, if its the mesh you want, assign it to a variable you can access from other part of your code and manipulate it as you like.

Also, use a more suggestive post title.

thanks!  perfect!
