You still do need the Viewpoint plugin. Don't get me wrong. It's another plugin that is required sure, but it's pretty lightweight and not too intrusive on the user/operating system.
As far as the complexity of the viewpoint platform I would say that it's suited our needs but I wouldn't go as far as to say you can write a full blown game in it. It has a couple miles to go until that is a reality. Director could have been a choice I suppose for this but unfortunately we simply didn't explore this option enough with our executive team. I would have liked to possible visit this as an option. As far as merging flash with Viewpoint I pulled it off using a DIV layer where the Flash stays below and the viewpoint is on top. Viewpoints documentation isn't that great actually when you go beyond what it's really capable of. We had to use the forums extensively to get the information we needed and even working with Viewpoint developers directly on issues/bugs that we found. Anyways, if anybody wants to know more let me know. -Ralph -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 9:30 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: 3D in Flash If you use Viewpoint, don't you need to install that player on top of the Flash player???
