[away3d] light not working in my new project, plz help

[Bluebomber357]

Hey all, I'm back with an embarrassing problem. I cannot get lighting
to work. I started a new project, and got all the other basic stuff
setup correctly, but the lighting wont work. I'd really appreciate
help in figuring out what I did wrong, I've been trouble-shooting for
a half-hour on this problem... its really brief and simple code.

NOTE: WASD keys and mouse for camera movement.

CODE BELOW:

package  {
        import away3d.cameras.Camera3D;
        import away3d.containers.Scene3D;
        import away3d.containers.View3D;
        import away3d.core.math.Number3D;
        import away3d.core.utils.Cast;
        import away3d.lights.DirectionalLight3D;
        import away3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
        import away3d.materials.ColorMaterial;
        import away3d.primitives.Cube;
        import flash.display.Bitmap;
        import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
        import flash.ui.Keyboard;
        import levels.FootballField1;
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.events.Event;
