In the main .AS file, the code must still reference the Blender AS code in order to draw an object, almost identically to how it would reference the Collada file. Is there more flexibility in generating the 3D object using AS code than there would be in a Collada file? Once Papervision gets more into reading the animations from a Collada file (if it doesnt already) only having the model described in AS might be a limitation in comparison. Any thoughts?

How come I can view the demo flash animation on his web page on my computer? As far as I know I have not installed any of those 3d engines on my computer.

I've been dreaming of this feature before, only I wasn't able to post it via the community. Now I can easily integrate Blender and Flash on my work. Thanks, guys. :) More power to you.

I only have some old screenshots showing its wire and solid-modes: http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/892/3dflashv0372ip2.jpg As I said it was very crude and simple - it didn't even have a z-buffer! it just used a simple painters algorithm and backface culling to depth sort and optimize all the face. I experimented with a z-buffer, but I found AS2.0 to be too slow for it to be really usable. I was about halfway done with my texture/uv functions when I heard that the new AS3.0 would be about 10x faster than AS2.0, so I thought that there was no point in finishing it. But if you want to see whats possible with flash and 3D, you should check out the Papervision and Sandy demos - they are really impressive! Thats really the way to go if you want real 3D i flash. It is just too much work to build your own 3D engine now. And since the engine is already made, you would only have to make the obj parser. @Bart

I'd be interested in seeing how well that works. @tessa: do you have that online somewhere? I'd be interested in seeing how well that works.
