[Papervision3D] COLLADA Max NextGen - animation problems

[Tim Knip]

Hi Paul,

Ehehe: yeah, crash on the lacking ID is a bug also :-S
Forgot about that on, thanks for reminding me.

Think Cinema4D does the nested animation elements.

Keep an eye on http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/source/list

Fix should be there in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on my work schedule.

Btw: http://www.paultondeur.com/2008/03/09/drawing-a-cubic-bezier-curve-using-actionscript-3/
Did you ever solve the quadratic to normal flash curveTo thing?
