Vic, may I suggest sticking with the tag releases unless you find something that does not work properly (in which case you can switch over to the trunk and see if the cause has been fixed by the development team). In TortoiseSVN you can use the RepoBrowser command to explore what tags have been created (e.g. 3.4.0), then when you do a Checkout, navigate to that tag. The complete Away3D library is not very large so you can probably afford to have multiple tags and the trunk all saved on your drive. Alternatively, you can rewind to a numerical revision of the trunk and freeze there.
FYI issues are tracked here: code.google.com/p/away3d/issues/list You should submit your own if you find a reproducible bug in the trunk. Regarding TextField3D, I for one am extremely interested in new developments! We use it extensively to label 3-D illustrations for interactive training. It does have some issues that I understand derive from the way that faces are dynamically built and oriented from the font data embedded in the SWF. In my experience this can cause chunks of characters to have z-sorting problems. If you dig through the discussion you will some posts by Li, me, and others that you may find helpful.
