Michael.....thank you soooooo much. This finally works after days of
digging and not being able to find anything.
Here is the revised function:
public function createCouple(xPos:int, zPos:int):void
{
var coupleName:MovieClip =
_coupleArray[_mathUtils.randRange(0, 2)]
as MovieClip;
var material:MovieMaterial = new
MovieMaterial(coupleName);
var materialMC:MovieClip = material.movie as MovieClip;
var couplePlane:Plane = new Plane({material: material,
rotationX:
90, z: zPos, width: 175, height: 325, x: xPos, y: 200});
_viewPort3D.scene.addChild(couplePlane);
materialMC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
