The material returned in the getMaterial method can be any number of
diferent types, whcih is why is it case as the geenric material type. If you
are accessing materials that are bitmap textures, you can cast the returned
material to BitmapMaterial before accessing properties, like so:
var myBitmapMaterial:BitmapMaterial =
materialLibrary.getMaterial("theIdFromTheDAE").material
as BitmapMaterial
myBitmapMaterial.smooth = true;
this should get rid of your error.
Unfortunately you haven't given enough information on how you are activating
debug mode to see what the problem might be there!
