6. hey awesome work! Im really looking forward to taking a peek at the temple tutorials, very useful and seems more useable and interactive than papervision allows for.

9. My name is Ali majidian,I’m a flash designer.
   in my new projects I need to write some code
   for 3d designing(not only playing a 3d Move but alse
   controling a 3d object)

   I need to join with away3d to get some package for
   my codes in AS 3.0

10. You guys ROCK! I must say I do like this engine better than PaperVision 3D. So far, you are the kings…

11. How can i get the source code about “Away3D 2.2: RailAway Express”?

    Comment by yansong — October 25, 2008 @ 3:53 am

12. I love this engine,but now I have many questions to solve,I wish someone can help me .many thanks.

13. please change Matrix3d’s class instead of other name .

    because i complex it that will break error with flash.geom.Matrix3d

    Comment by zszen — February 9, 2009 @ 1:49 am

14. That’s because you are using the Flash 9 version. There is a 3.0.0 branch for Flash 10 into the SVN.

16. I’m trying to figure out how to get a collada animation (made in maya playing. It loads fine, textures and all. Couldn’t find a sample of how to play the amination. Any help would be appreciated.

    Heres the code I have so far.

    // import containers
    import away3d.containers.*;
    // import core library
    import away3d.core.base.*;
    // import file format loaders
    import away3d.loaders.*;
    //import math objects
    import away3d.core.math.*;

    // create a 3D-viewport
    var view:View3D = new View3D({x:300, y:200});
    // add viewport to the stage
    addChild(view);

    // start mesh loading
    var loader:Object3DLoader = Collada.load(”model/test.dae”);
    // add the loader object to the scene
    //loader.rotationX = -90;
    view.scene.addChild(loader);

    // position camera
    view.camera.position = new Number3D(1000, 1000, 1000);
    view.camera.lookAt(loader.position);

    // every frame
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
    view.render();
    }

17. i found if i use a class extends an object just like Cone.

    if i use visible to it , it’s parent will also have something wrong.

    but if i use a objectcontainer3d.it is ok.

18. How do I download away3D? I have been to the download page and saved the information but there isn’t any executable!!
    I’m well lost!! Help!!

    Comment by Emanuel — March 14, 2009 @ 5:03 pm

19. Away3D is not an executable, it’s a library. A collection of classes that you need to import and compile within your flash project.

    Comment by Fabrice Closier — March 14, 2009 @ 5:30 pm

20. I’m looking for someone to make me a model viewer with the rotation arrows that can get the texture for the model from an external source and have that texture be a variable so I can change the texture address later on possibly with xml

    i’ll pay 15$ for it :P

    Comment by Dave — March 16, 2009 @ 2:23 pm

21. Hey Fabrice thank you for your help. One more question, where do I need to copy the libraries to be able to import it into my project? I mean, is it possible to point from my flash project where the library would be?
    Thanks again!!

    Comment by Fabrice Closier — March 18, 2009 @ 8:10 am

23. Hi Fabrice, how can I join it? but also, please, where shall I have my libraries to be able to “import” it into my Flash development?
    Thanks!!

    Comment by Emanuel — March 18, 2009 @ 9:48 am

24. Emanuel, look on top of this page… there is a link :)

    Comment by Fabrice Closier — March 20, 2009 @ 6:27 pm

25. mmmh, theres a bug in away3d, when i get a carrousel with a disc and planes on it, if i zoom the camera, and use the zoom to auto adjust the plane it starts inverting the back face of the plane:

    this goes onenterframe ofc
    if (disk)
    disk.rotationY -= 1;
    disk.height=(200/camera.zoom);
    disk.radius=(4000/camera.zoom);
    disk.y=(-2500/camera.zoom);
    P.width=(1500/camera.zoom);
    P.height=(1500/camera.zoom);
    P.y=(-1000/camera.zoom);
    P.x=(-2500/camera.zoom);

    am i doing something stupid or it is really a bug?

28. Hello,

    I have just started to make a game, that involves a lot of little vubes on the screen, maybe 150 of them…just wondering if Away 3D is fast enough to do that? I have tried papervision, its quite slow with about 50 cubes, sandy3D is playable but memory usage still goes up at about 100kbytes/s… anybody has any recommendations or tips?

    Comment by Fan Di — April 22, 2009 @ 7:19 pm

29. Hello,

    i am searching for a 3D Cube, which loads logos/pictures from a directory. it will be used for a internet radio with ads on the cube. the cube must be rotate ….
    Who can tell me to do this or who will make this for cash?

30. Sorry I joined the google dev group listed above .. only to find useres bickering and attacking each other over trivial nonsense which had nothing to do with away3d and most of the posts are dated mid last year. Has nobody been working , posting anything since then? I am testing all the flash 3d engines , I successfully used papervision , alternitivia but cannot get away3d to compile. I trying to load a collada and display but get a error with your library ::::

31. Hi Ian, sorry about the “bad” behaviour of some users… It’s the first time but I guess it was unevitable…
    Please post on the user group for technical support or search within the group archives. You also can look at tutorials on flashmagazine.com and on this site to get started.

32. Hey, Somebody please help me!! Iam a beginner n AS3 & Away3D. Please tell me the code for a 3d object for which if we mouse hit it, it must disappear & the score should be increased.(like finding the hidden object but here the object is in 3D)
    Please Help me! Thanks in Advance!

38. If I use the Flash IDE with Away3D and want to test my 3D App, the compilation takes several seconds, which costs me on the whole many time. Is there a way to precompile Away3D like DLLs on windows?

42. I want to make a 3D game but when I try out the Advanced_MultiMario example, I’m get only ~12 FPS on my 2.1 GHz white macbook (4mp ram) and only ~35 FPS on my brothers quad core windows desktop with uber gfx card.

    Is this normal?

    Can I make this demo go faster? Is there a GPU wmode or other hardware acceleration that can help out in browser mode? In standalone? How can I see HW accel is working?

    Note: I wasn’t able to get this working from Flex Builder 3. Maybe you can provide some command line steps I can take if you want me to try this:

43. Hello,

    We are experiencing problem applying texture in small fine strips and checks.

    Those images has been prepared to proper scale for direct application, but the Away3d outputs often carries significant down-sampling artifacts.

    Smooth has been set to true. We have also not done anything with scale. But it still looks like as if Away3d is down-sampling with Nearest Neighbor.

    Appreciate any thoughts.

44. Hi Kelvin,

    This is not the forum and support group, the link is above:
    http://groups.google.com/group/away3d-dev

    I am sorry about your problems, however this is not Away3D’s fault at all.

    If you try your experiment with just Flash (not Away3D) you will notice the same thing. This is a flaw of the Flash software.

    You have a couple of options in Flash, and the same applies to Away3D.

    A few ideas are:

    1. You can use a much smaller texture, up scaling works much better than down scaling.

    2. You can blur your texture a bit

    3. Your best option is to use the same texture dimensions you would expect to see at 100%.

    Hope it helps you

    -Peter

49. Hello, I am new to away3D and I really want to thank to you all because of this fantastic job. This will be the future of the web that I’ve dreamt. i wanted to use this engine in my project of virtual reality of a chemistry lab. So I used your tutorials to learn but I have stuckt in somewhere that I can’t use my 3ds lab tools in flash, Sometimes the objects aren’t able to be seen with a angle of view. Sometimes they can be seen. I didn’t understand the problem in here, in max, when I render, I can see them where they should have been. But in flash, as i just told they aren’t seen sometimes. I don’t but the problem must be with the codes. So do you have any ides for my problem, i really need your advices. these are the photos that I have taken, in the circles you can see my problems. I also added the max render photos that sould have been. By the way I’m sorry for my bad English :(

    max render:

50. Hi, away3d team I have a small question,
    I’m building a small game engine on top of Away3d engine. My goal is to enable programmer to inject behavior to loaded ObjectContainer3D or Mesh in runtime (like those in Unity3D).

    So I create a subclass of both mentioned base classes and add few HashMap (from Polygonal AS3 lib) to later holds the injected behavior. For example: NewMesh or NewObjectContainer3D

    What happen was: I load a collada using Collada.parse(…), for example:

    var parser:Collada = new Collada();
    var loadedCollada:ObjectContainer3D = parser.parse(…);

    Then I want my extended class NewObjectContainer3D to contain the loaded collada, so this is what I did:

    var myExtension:NewObjectContainer3D = new NewObjectContainer3D();
    loadedCollada.cloneAll(myExtension);

    This way, I managed to copy the loaded collada to myExtension …
    the problems appears when I try to animate the copied collada … I found that not all bones contained from the first loaded collada were all copied to myExtension …. I dunno, maybe there is a bug in cloneAll() process.

    So I have no choice but to get into the source of both ObjectContainer3D and Mesh … then I add few lines of code, to enable both base classes to hold later behavior….

    My question now: Can I make chance on both two base classes? is this ok with Away3D license agreement? let say I want to make a commercial game?

51. Sure, you can play, edit, change etc… if you do however fix bugs or extend the API, please do share your code with us. Happy coding!

52. Is there a way to extract the height of an Mesh object?
    I want to convert the Mesh objects to Sprite3D objects, but I can’t seem to use the Mesh::height property (it’s always 0).

54. Hello.
    We have chosen Away3D as basic for creating 3d game on flash.
    Fast render, support of bone animations, work with textures and many, many other (very critical for game development) things do this library the best.
    You can see results here http://story-game-play.com/jc_blog/

55. Hi, once you load a 3D object with either Loader3D or ObjectLoader3D (for previous versions of Away3D), how do you unload it from memory?

    Setting it to null and removing event listeners just doesn’t do the trick, and with complex models I get stuck with an 800MBs resource hogger, and I just can’t seem to remove the loaded object from memory unless I kill flash as a whole.

    Thank you,
    -TS…

57. Hi I am a newbie in away3d and i am panning a box successfully but somehow i want to stop the pan after 2 rotations so how can i do it.

    please help.

58. Hi. Great work. I would love to see an example of mouse interaction that is not gimble locked or doesn’t have that strange distance change effect of the hover camera examples. I would just like natural free rotation. I don’t know a lot of math and am not sure how to use quaternions. Is there an easy way to translate xy mouse into xyz rotation of the object?

59. I am looking for someone with experience with Away3D (or I guess a similar flash 3D engine) to help with an art project. We have specific ideas about what we want but we are a bunch of artists that don’t really have the knowledge to actually execute it :)

    We are able to pay little (we’ll be paying from our own pockets without any expectations to make our money back) but we believe there is an added value in the fact that it is an interesting and exciting project. It could also be an opportunity to network a bit with some people doing web based art.

    If you are interested in helping out write me to pablo@pablogaviria.com

60. Hi,

    I saw Away3D demos they are pretty impressive then Papervision3D. I am trying to learn Away3D using their built 3.5.0 as it’s latest and stable (crossing my fingers). I tried first program and voilaa I found really strange error I will show you my code here (This is one example I downloaded from tutorials)

    [code removed]

    I am getting error
    //********************************//

    1119: Access of possibly undefined property targetpanangle through a reference with static type away3d.cameras:HoverCamera3D.

    Now I am really confused about away3D is it stable or not yet stable I almost used all previous version from 2.2.0 to 3.5.0 and getting different types of errors.

    can anybody point me in right direction or tell me what I am doing wrong ?

    Thanks,
    Riyasat

    Hi Riyat,
    In your case --> cover is NOT an Away class, probably a custom class added for the purpose of this tutorial.
    I presume it comes from FlashMagazine.com

    In 3.5 HoverCamera3D, has been updated, all "target" names were removed and all varnames are now camelCased
    so targetpanangle is now panAngle. etc...

    Please register to our dev-group for technical assistance.

61. Hi,
    I’m looking for Away 3D developers who can collaborate with me on a project. You will have to get a 3D world up and running, together with the players character, just like any 3D game. This *is* a commercial posting, but I would have to work with someone who can work on a profit-sharing basis, as I don’t have any money to spend on this. So, if you’re interested in revolutionising the world from your bedroom, drop me a line at: iamhereintheworld AT gmail DOT com , and we can get going! :)

    Thanks.

    Is it possible to have a 3d view of a dynamically created movieclip(like a floor plan of any shape which will be drawn by the user) using away3d?

    Thanks.

64. Hi am starting my final year project at uni. I am making a simple 3D visualised american football playbook. The user can select a play a watch it with a free roam camera. Loading the environment and the selected play might be quite large and take ages to load if in photo quality details. Whats the best quality to use to keep a decent loading speed?

65. Hi!

    I have a class that extends Cube. Inside I have a public function that I want to run inside my loop in the Main class. For some reason the function doesn’t run when I write myCubeClass.update(); even tough it’s obviously there.
    What’s evener weirder is that I don’t get any warnings or errors when I compile.

    Thank you in advance,
    /John

71. Dear Team,
    I am trying to draw a custom 2-d shape on the screen and then create its 3-d model using Away 3-d. I have included the classes that I have used. I am yet to create the 3-d model using extrusion.
    The problem is that there is always a small offset when making the drawing. When trying out the code please click on the screen at two different points to get the drawing start and going. The drawing is triggered on MouseDown. Please do help me as I have been trying to find a solution for quiet sometime.
