I'd like to have an effect like this:

nothing strange

I notice in your snapshot that you have no shading at all, this possibly means 
3 things:

1/ your model is not unically mapped
2/ you do not render in raytrace mode
3/ no face is found to be in range of a light, and the default ambient scene 
value is applied.

ownshadows
you can in case of single mesh get inner shadows in Prefab by openning the 
preferences panel and set ownshadow to true.
however the result depends highly on the way the mapping is done. Mostly the 
code renders ok, if the surface of a face is smaller or equal to the area it 
represent
on a map. if the map is applied bigger, the bigger its applied, the less it 
will look nice. To be honest, its totally unfriendly, and if you do not know 
exactly how it works
it will not look nice. Not to mention, that like any prerendered map, the mesh 
need to be uniqualy mapped.

In your case even fast render 2 should after few tweaks of the lights settings 
render a nice volume.

extra tip: do you know you can reapply your rendered maps as render a second 
pass with other renderer?
or share the same rendered map with other meshes?
Play bits with the btns in previews of the maps...

I've found the problem: apparently dae files wants just UVW mapped materials.
So I've fixed and got this result:

Now, to make it look more realistic I would like to add shadows to be casted in 
the grooves.
As you see, the light in prefab is on and there is no casted shadow.
How do I add them (in away3D as3 I mean)?

That looks like AS2, i didn't even know there was an AS2 version of
away3d.

Anyway try the prefab tool.

I've had much luck optimizing in that and then exporting a new DAE.
Though it also supports exporting as an AS3 class, which I've found
very helpful to understand the inner workings of complex models.

Hi everyone I've got this collada file:http://pastebin.com/hRaUST29

exported from a 3D studio max model which is the lowest in this 
image:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4064417/building.jpg

which I load with this code:http://pastebin.com/2Wbrq73X

and I get this render:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4064417/colladaLoad.jpg

why can I see just the door and not the red walls nor the windows
without getting texture url errors?
