Michael, Speaking as someone who is brand new to this group, and just beginning the process of learning to use the Away3D engine, I have to say a big "Thank you, and you ROCK!"
Seriously, though, as I'm just beginning to work with the engine, I'm sure I will be some asking "noob" questions of my own, and I really appreciate your willingness to help.
