[away3d] [away3dlite] swapping materials of max3ds file issues

[Joseph]

Hello :)

Having some issues swapping bitmap materials in away3dlite. Got the
general syntax/calls from the Basic LoadModel.as example. Below is how
I am trying to swap materials (I just cut and paste the more relavent
snippets). I verified the key presses are working fine, etc. I see the
model in the scene and it has the mainship100BM material applied but
doesn't change to the 2nd material upon key press.

Any ideas why I am not seeing the material change?

Thanks!

Joseph
