Papervision3D question, please help…

By scott

I posted a question on the Papervision3D forum earlier this week and no one has posted an answer yet. It seems like a simple question but I have tried every possible method and property known to man and I can’t find a solution. The question I posted was:

“I have created a MovieMaterial and I placed it in a panel. By default the MovieMaterial is 106×76 and I have set animated = true on it. When my carousel rotates to a specific plane a swf is loaded into the MovieMaterial and I call gotoAndPlay(’in’) on the loaded swf. The animation plays but since the animation goes larger than 106×76 it is cropped. I am trying to get the effect of the animation busting out of the panel/material. How can I turn off the masking on the panel, or is the material masked? I have set allowAutoResize to true, and have tried almost every property and method available, what am I missing? “

Does anyone have an answer out there? Please! I love that I am able to work with Papervision again, hopefully soon I will be able to post some of the cool stuff I am working on. I thank you in advance if you know the answer.

Do pedestrian crossing buttons actually do anything?

By scott

Personally I think they are just psychological. A technical placebo if you will. I noticed tonight when I was shopping in “beautiful downtown Burbank” that they have updated a few of the pedestrian crossing buttons with fancy blinking buttons that beep when you push them. I still don’t think they do anything, I think the beep and blink is another psychological trick, In your mind, when you push a button, you expect something to happen, the old plunger style buttons didn’t do anything and left you wondering if anything was going to happen. This is probably my most bizarre posting just wondering if anyone has any proof that these things actually change the light quicker. Next week we’ll discuss the close door button on an elevator
