I still prefer the old-fashioned method of loading Materials into a SkyBox.
That way, I could just have the image load in the background without writing
any custom image loading handlers (for downloading large image files from a
URL)

note that The prefab cubic renderer allows you to render object specific
cubic maps.
where each object "reflects" from its own location.
so till Prefab can handle more geometry, if your objects are no that big,
you should be able to produce very realistic sceneries
at a great ease.

Skyboxes are not only super easy to create in broomstick, but they
also don't add any geometry! It's a 3 step process:
- load or embed the images
- create a CubeMap with the 6 images
- create a skybox using that cubemap.
You can then recycle that cube map for reflections, ambient lighting,
etc...
If you want to use a single image you just need to copy the bitmapData
from the 6 panels to the CubeMap constructor.
Signals would be great, I agree. But that would create a dependency,
which is always an issue. Since Away3D is open source, maybe we can
put together a signals branch!

Features will be added and restored as we go.

Such as BSP, SkyBoxes are not as easy to create as they used to be, and
MovieMaterial was pretty much essential for some projects. What
happened to
that? I was expecting that it would be a little bit easier to port an
existing project.

Hi,
I was thinking that version 4 of as3 would move away from using
events, and instead consider as3signals?
