Thanks John, works like a charm.
One more question.
I have a model a model I am viewing consisting of several 3ds meshes. Each
of these meshes
uses the same texture file. When I load all the meshes does each mesh have
to re-retrieve that same texture
image over the internet, or does the starfire loader cache the previously
downloaded texture image so
that any other meshes referencing it can use it?
