For those having problems compiling and running here’s a couple tips.

1) compile with additional parameter -use-networking=false
This will put it in a local security sandbox with access to files
2) Make sure you put the 3DS file in the media folder and change the SERVER_URL to “../media/”
3) try the flash10 swc files first, if you get errors, use the flash9 alternativa swc files

Hello, I’ve been trying to load a 3DS model with no luck. I’ve tried it with Flex Builder, Flash Develop and without an IDE with the mxlmc compiler only. Tried on Windows and Linux. Tried this example and that one in Alternativa3D documentation site too. I’ve tried even redownloading Alternativa3D 5.6.0. I always end up having no model on the canvas, with no error and no clue. Just the MEM goes still up, even to 500mb which isn’t normal I think, untill I close it. My flash player version: “WIN 10,0,32,18″.

I don’t change the code, I download it from here and try to run (except the model address) and it doesn’t work for me. Does anyone know, what am I doing wrong? Please send me a message here or to “svitmk” at “gmail” the dot “com”.

For fellow noobs my previous post referencing a Security Error arises because the 3D model referenced in the source code is hosted on the alternativa site — but a facet of Flash Player 7+ security is to disallow loading data from a different domain (unless that other domain has a cross-domain.xml file allowing same).

Thus to get the demo to work simply copy and paste the fighter.3DS and the sf-03.jpg files into your own domain then change to your address the:

protected static const SERVER_URL:String = “http://_your domain_”;

I get an Error Loading (Security Error) when compiling source files.

Please advise how to track/fix the error — thanks in advance.
