Texturing AutoCAD files in Adobe 3D Toolkit

Question

When importing a .dwg file saved in AutoCAD 2004 format into Adobe 3D Toolkit, I find that the textures which were added in AutoCAD are no longer present when viewed with the 3D Toolkit software.
Can anybody tell me how either....
1. ....How I can import a texture onto the drawing using the 3D toolkit
or
2 .....if settings can be changed so that when the AutoCAD file is imported into Adobe 3D Toolkit the textures are shown as they are in AutoCAD.
Many Thanks

I'm not sure about how to do this in Toolkit. The long method is that you can add them back with Javascript. Here's some info that I posted elsewhere...
=====
In order to map the images, they must be attached as a 3D resource. (There is a free plugin for this; search the forum for "Attach3DResource.api"). Once the images are attached, you can use the 3D Javascript API to map them to the meshes you desire.
For one doc, I attached 25 images in this manner. I then used the script below to create a bunch of empty meshes, and then apply the images to said meshes.
Hope this helps!
//3D javascript ========================================
//create 25 procedural meshes ======
var leftEdge = -180;
var horizontalOffset = leftEdge;
var verticalOffset = 0;
var myMesh = new Array();
var myVector = new Array();
for ( i=0; i<25; i++ ) { myMesh[i] = scene.createSquareMesh(64, 48, "myMesh" + i); myVector[i] = new Vector3( horizontalOffset, verticalOffset, 0 ); myMesh[i].transform.translateInPlace(myVector[i]); horizontalOffset += 74; if ( horizontalOffset > 180 )
horizontalOffset = leftEdge;
verticalOffset += 58;
//create image array and resource objs ============
var myImageResources = new Array();
var myImageFiles = new Array("8d91.jpg",
"ad2e.jpg",
"barnpond.jpg",
"Beach01.jpg",
"Beach04.jpg",
"Beach05.jpg",

//create resource objs
for ( i=0; i<25; i++ ) { myImageResources[i] = new Resource("pdf://" + myImageFiles[i]); }
//load images on meshes with handler ============
var myImageObjs = new Array();
var myImageMats = new Array();
myRenderer = new RenderEventHandler();
myRenderer.onEvent = function(renderEvent)
for ( i=0; i<25; i++ ) { //create image from resource myImageObjs[i] = new Image(myImageResources[i]); console.println("Image = " + i);
//add image to model
myImageMats[i] = myMesh[i].material;
myImageMats[i].diffuseTexture.setImage(myImageObjs[i]);
//remove handler
runtime.removeEventHandler(myRenderer);
runtime.addEventHandler(myRenderer);
//cause a recalculation of the scenegraph.
scene.update();
console.println("Call scene.update()");
console.println("Created 25 Square meshes: (64, 48, 'myMeshN')");
