thanks, John, but it still throws Call to a possibly undefined method addMethod . A weird thing I just noticed on traces is I get this:
trace(mesh.material); -- shows [object BitmapMaterial] trace(mesh.material.name); -- shows the name of the material parsed in from the 3DS file but trace(AssetLibrary.getAsset(mesh.material.name)); -- shows "null" ????
