Thank you for your reply - your examples page is fantastic and I'm sure it will help me out no end. Unfortunately it's not quite what I'm after in this case. I have found an example here http://www.everydayflash.com/blog/index.php/2008/04/26/light-shading-away3d/ with code here http://code.google.com/p/barteksplayground/source/browse/trunk/src/com/everydayflash/away3d/earth/EarthDemo.as that does exactly what I would like, but I'm not sure if it is supposed to work under fp9. Can somebody confirm whether phong shading from a pointlight3d is possible under Away3D 2.5.2?
Again, thank you for your help.
