Hello all,
Well, I've been a lurker on the PV maillist since it started - I saw some
of the 1st demos of PV and instantly knew this was just the most fantastic
leap forward for many years..
Time, family and the ever-present need to concentrate on what pays the
bills left me negative time to explore this great new technology, but I've
finally succumbed and dipped my toes in the water, after seeing my future
career go sailing off into the distance, with great lighting effects and
awesome perspective..
I am happy that I understand how to contruct a simplePanorama, but I wanted
to use as one of the textures on a plane, a scripted animated effect that I
had as a .swf.
Firstly, I tried just using a loadMovie("myswf.swf"), in the first frame of
the linked MC that was to be one of the textures, but to no avail.
I then tried just repasting the code to generate the effect in the first
frame of that movieclip, but again - no.
The effect to which I refer uses attachBitmap, and bitmap fills etc, in
AS2..
I then tried to define this effect as a function within the class as file,
whereupon the overall container for the effect is created and named, and I
tried to use this name to be a texture assigned to one of the planes..but
again,  no.
Anyone have any experience or advice on how to do this best ?
 
Many thanks, I really am in awe of the work being done with this
technology, in a way that I havent been since the old days of Den Ivanov
scripting 3d engines in flash 4..:)
 
Mike.
