Thanks Fabrice but that wasn't it. The solution is that you now have to use view.scene.addLight() instead of view.scene.addChild(); I found it after digging around in the SVN logs from around build 2379.
My problem now is the light supposedly gets added, but any materials that are supposed to use the light are flat -- phong materials and shaded materials -- no specular, shininess, or anything. Is anyone else experiencing this with the latest build? No matter what I try I can't get lighting. I attached a simple example for your reference. This example was taken from the tutorials over at Flash Magazine (http:// www.flashmagazine.com/Tutorials/detail/away3d_basics_6_-_materials_and_light_part_1). I simply changed it to use addLight() instead of addChild() ... (and I changed the .as to extend MovieClip instead of Sprite in order to work with the Flash IDE). download: http://www.envirant.com/temp/Basic09_ShadingColorMaterial.zip Thanks!
