Hello Michael,
I have had the same problem and Fabrice is correct, sometimes you must
set RectangleClipping to get a SWF with Away3D objects to load and
display into another SWF. The clipping limits don't seem to be
important (except possibly for performance) - I usually just set them
to very large numbers.
Another common problem with SWF's that crash or won't display properly
when loaded into another SWF is due to the constructor in the loaded
SWF trying to run before the Flash player has finished loading the new
object to the stage. The solution is to put an ADDED_TO_STAGE event
listener at the beginning of the constructor, then do the rest of the
initialization when the event fires. There was a post in this group
about this: "Clipping.screen crashes when using Loader and doc
class" (18 May 2008).
E.g.
public function YourClass(){
addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, myInit);
}
public function myInit(event:Event){
// Do all the normal constructor stuff here
}
