Andrea Boschini from Panurge Web Design was kind enough to change the exporter script so that it supports Away3D 2.2.0. Download it here. Thanks Andrea!
Mike Lively, who’s writing a book about Papervision3D, has released a new Papervision3D XML exporter for Blender. He has used my Blender to ActionScript exporter script as a base for his script. Another useful exporter for Blender! Go checkit out: , New Blender XML Exporter/PV3D XML Primitive
I got this runtime error when trying out the new 3D features in the latest Flex SDK: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.geom::PerspectiveProjection could not be found. This can be fixed this by setting the Flash Player version to 10.0.0 (or whatever fp10 version you’re using) in Properties > ActionScript Compiler > HTML Wrapper > Require [...]
I encountered this problem when implementing a workaround for the multiline unicode text wrapping bug. I use newline characters (“\n”) to break up the text manually. When I load the XML file and parse it in my Flex app, newline characters are displayed in the text field. Tracing out the string displays “\n” and not [...]
The export script for Blender has been updated. It is now compatible with the latest versions of Papervision3D (2.0) and Away3D (2.1.0). It also contains a bugfix that solves an annoying problem with the “choose engine” dropdown menu. Download the script here.

An IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR was raised when I tried to load an XML file (ActionScript 3.0). This only happened in IE6 on a specific server. The strange thing was that I got a HTTP/1.0 200 OK message in my HTTP sniffer. It turns out that IE6 can’t handle a specific combination of http headers: Cache-Control: no-cache Content-Encoding: [...]
Flex Builder, as opposed to Visual Studio, doesn’t have post-build scripts that allow you to easily copy assets to the build folder. If you need to do this Ant is a good alternative. There can be problems connecting the Ant build process to the debugger though. The solution to this problem is to add a [...]

Supported 3D engines are: Away3D Papervision3D (version 1.7 & 2.0) Sandy 3.0 & 3.1 Alternativa3D Flash & Flash Developer’s Magazine offers a free PDF version of the issue that contains the “Blender [...]
