another option, way more efficient
would be to record only camera position
and just transform the original points according to this recorded
camera positions.

Hi Fabrice,
I thought I would try it anyway...
I just modified AbstractRenderSession to trace lines in the following
format:
{ c:Number, a:[ [Type:String, N:Number, N:Number, N:Number, N:Number],
[etc.], [etc.] ] }
and then iterated through each line in an AS2 file, filling with c as
the color and then using moveTo, lineTo, or curveTo depending on
whether Type was 'M', 'L', or 'C'
The model is the word "retirement" extruded in Archer (a serifed
font).
One frame render of it was 32k, that's a lot of numbers :)
If I rounded all of the vertexes to whole numbers it dropped the files
size to 14k. The same word, drawn in the Flash IDE, is between 2 and
5 k...
Still, it was a worthy experiment and easier than I thought to capture
that output to the log file.

Right, basically record the animation and then playback with the
drawing api. It's a good idea, I've actually tried something like
that in the past before using away3d or papervision. But if you have
a lot of points, as you say, even those text strings can end up
producing an enormous swf. Thanks for the idea. It would be cool if
away had a "recorder" like this, so you could enable it and it would
output drawing api commands, in the proper order for correct depth
ordering...

If the logo is not to complex, there is one way you could consider:
Define the original order, I mean all vertexes sorted per colors,
then
replace all anchors/points by moviclipsprites
so that it renders in away (simple dots should be enough), then each
render, save all position in same sequence, back in F8, just use
lineto/curveto to reproduce.
AIR would be great help here, you could open first a file, and each
render write into the file you will open in f8 to reproduce.

Here's a crazy question. I need to create a 3d text logo fly
through.
My big issue is that it needs to be Flash 8 or earlier and file
size
needs to be <=30k. The flash version requirement removes
away3dlite,
and my basic scene with everything I need and the model using
VectorText is about 125k. So what I'm wondering is, can I create
my
scene in Away3d, and somehow export vector frames...This would
give me
a lot cleaner vectors than other options (I tried using Swift3DLW
and
it's a joke).
Is there a way that I can "bake" the whole thing and then put it
in an
earlier version swf?
