I am also having the same problem with the Away3D trunk version. It works OK in 3.4.2 though. Is this a bug in 3.5 or is there a different way we are supposed to use ShadingColorMaterial in 3.5?
What are the valid combinations of materials and lights in 3.5? I can't find this info in the docs or source code. All my objects and primitives that look fine in 3.4.2 are either black or invisible when compiled with the current trunk version, even after fixing errors due to syntax changes.
