The tutorials created back in 2007/2008 I often find buggy, they often come
with no assets or working compilable code to download.
People get baffled when the camera is not looking at the object (not in view
- got me once or twice \shame on me :\ ), dimension values have changed,
faces are inverted random bug fixes over the years etc. It's to be expected
really, maintaining tutorials with each milestone is quite a task especially
with the scope of Away3D.
The values in this particular case:
- The camera was pointing at nothing (blank screen)
- There are no assets apart from right click on thumbnail size images on
page and use them, which worked ironically :)
- No camera type or setup was specified (I've started to use hover cam
template with drag rotate by default so if something is not in view, I will
spin around with the trident on and look around to see if it is, if it is
and I don't need hovercam, it's over to camera3d again after general debug
positioning is done positioning.
- skinExtrude x,y and z were not defined and was placing the skinExtrude
was 6000 out on the x and something similar on the y
- imageFromLib, can be worked out, but for some it may be what is this in
flash? what is this in flex? what is this in fd? etc - so I reworked to flex
and 2 embedded assets
But regardless of this, it's better to have a partial working example than
no example at all. :)
PS.
Trident.as is broken in both Away3D FP9 and FP10 trunk, not tried lite.
a and b have null fed in somewhere along the line, I am currently fixing
manually with
if (a == null || b == null){ return; }
