Cheers Fabrice! I didn't know the asAS3Class() method existed - that's a fantastic piece of functionality! It would be nice to keep it in there as a backup even when PreFab gets all the bells and whistles I know you're working on ;)
I've been testing it this morning and it works amazingly well. I had a couple of memory issues compiling my app the first time round because of the size of the class (Flash error 5003) which i was able to fix by making amendments to my environment.plist file as detailed here: http://code.allofus.com/2009/08/flash-error-5003-5005/ a last question: Is there any way of centering the mesh (as with the loader.centerMeshes() method) with the generated class? It's not a major thing, since I tend to load within ObjectContainer3Ds anyway, but it'd be good to know. Looking forward to the new features in Prefab, I've read your hints on what to expect and I'm pretty excited! Even as is there's no better utility for the quick viewing and editing of assets. Kevin.
