Jerome - I found a demo file Basic08_videowall.as which gave me all the info I needed. Its really easy. I had looked at prefab, but I'll leave the face by face layering of video for another project. The planes with video is fine for sim'ing computer monitors and tv's for my scene.
After an intense couple weeks I'm getting a good handle on away3d. You guys are doing a great job making usable and applicable software. I'm very happy about this - I've been waiting a long time for it. I hope in a couple weeks I'll have a nice demo to offer to your home page demos. I will make a donation when I make some bucks from it. Thanks to all you guys. Vic On Apr 4, 7:59 am, elguapoloco <[email protected]> wrote: > Are the monitors loaded 3D meshes or native primitives?
