here's layer via basic renderer btw http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fp10/Examples/Away3DLite/as/src/ExLayer.as
or are you looking for ownCanvas via lite? that's can be sortObject too right? good news is ownCanvas is high in my to do list hth 2009/10/7 StGabe <[email protected]> > > Hi, thanks for the response! > > However I don't think your solution works for me.
