Dynamic 3d textures

Question

hey there w3d maniacs,
My first problem is that... I am having trouble converting a
director file with .w3d files and have them display on an html
document correctly. When it gets to part where the frame loops on
the w3d file, it gives me an error.
Q: Does that mean that I don't have the proper plugin to
display the shockwave file, or that i did not include the correct
plugin along with the conversion?
My second question was concerning 3d manipulation in
director.
Q: Is it possible to change textures on a w3d file? (A good
tutorial or helpful advice can help.)
Thanks a bundle,
Mong Vang

Answer 1

To change the image of an existing texture:
myTexture.image = <image object>
or
myTexture.member = <member with an image property>
To swap one existing texture for another in an existing
shader:
myShader.texture = myTexture
or
myShader.textureList[<index>] = myTexture
You can find a movie for testing texture and shader
properties at
