FLASH: Vecta 3D - shaded render problems

[Toon Van de Putte]

Hi all,


I've purchased the Vecta3D standalone version, but i've discovered some 

problems with the shaded render option:

When i save an animation that's shaded, it doesn't import right in Flash 4. 

The .swf that Vecta3D generates looks fine, but once imported in Flash 4, 

faces of the object seem to be missing ( you can see an example of this at 

http://www.katdesign.be/interface/vecta3d/testexport.swf ). Rendering the 

object in wireframe works perfectly, it's just the shaded colour fills that 

seem to cause trouble with importing them in Flash. The 3D object i used is 

a .3ds file exported from 3D Studio Max 2. Anyone have similar troubles or 

know what this could be? Not being able to use shaded objects casts a big 

shadow on the usability of Vecta3D, imho.


P.S. I had the same probs on both a PII 233 with 64MB of RAM and on an 

Athlon K7-650 with 128MB of RAM, so i guess it's not a system issue.



Please save me from hand-tracing hundreds of frames! ;-)
