hi mr. rob, i have that case but with a .flv file in a cloth sphere
(using as3dmod), and doesnt show ups, heres how i call the thing:
private var videoURL:String = "http://www.insertururlhere/
video.flv";
private var frontMateria:VideoMaterial;
frontMateriall = new VideoMaterial({file:videoURL});
bola =new Sphere
({material:frontMaterial,segmentsH:planeComplexity,
segmentsW:planeComplexity});
well in this case i tried and the freaking thing sounds, but i cant
see it on scene.
theres an alternative solutions for .flv as well?
