I need to know what the exact format and syntax for importing a basic
3d model into Flash through Away3D is. I have done a lot of searching
and seen various methods that for me seem to produce varying errors or
no visible object. This is just a test to make sure I understand the
concept before actually getting deeply into the programming, so for
that reason I have not used a material for the model. I assume that
Away3D will still produce a visible result, just as a cube or sphere
can be seen without assigning a specific material. Let me say first
that i fully understand the class imports and that is not an issue. I
have used AS on and off, so I understand that for the most part, plus
have other programming experience, so that is not the major issue. I
am using Flash CS5 I believe and AS3 and Flash 10 formats. I have an
intial stage and use an external class for all the Away3D AS
scripting. I am playing with it and basically putting together a
template to build furture Away3D/Flash from. I am going to post the
entire external package here, and I know it has some issues, it copied
and pasted some portions from the Earth/Stars tutorial to save time
and I have used 2 movie clips for zooming in and out on a basic cube.
I used 3DMax to make a very basic torus and exported it to the root
folder for the app and named it tube.3ds, I also produced a smaller
version of the same called tube2.3ds. You will see a lot of commented
out lines as I have tried many methods to import the model. I even
tried as a Wavefront OBJ. I really find this as the last stumbling
block to going somewhere with this software so please help. Here's my
current AS...

I can't seem to add a second agument to the new MAX3D without getting
an error, so I stopped even trying that. If I just go with blah:new
Max3D(); then I can't find a way to attach this to a model file.
var tube:Max3DS=new Max3DS.load("tube.3ds");
gives me a method cannot be used as a constructor error. At this
point I cannot remember all the ways I have tried to do this.
