Spinning texture in flash
I created a spinning logo in xara 3d by applying a texture to a like shaped object. I think that I am following the instructions from this forum. Upon trying to export as flash I get a message saying I can't export a texture. I want to create this as a flash file. Is this possible? Have I missed something?
Thanks,
John

Re: Spinning texture in flash
I'm not sure what might be going wrong for you, however your file (I added my own bitmap texture) exports to .swf without a problem for me using the export settings as shown.
I also choose Flash bitmap rather than Flash vector when exporting.

Re: Spinning texture in flash
Thanks sledger, sorry for posting in wrong place,
I have since redrawn the logo following the directions on page 2 of the simsmj tut. So I now have a true vector representation. When I export this as "flash vector" and then try to open in a browser I get a black screen. I can export as "flash bitmap", but I am not happy with the image quality of that result.
Thanks again,
John
Re: Spinning texture in flash
Exporting as flash with drop shadows won't work, in fact trying to crashes the application for me.
I'd stick to bitmap vector at highest quality (24bit) and export at the size you plan to show it on the webpage, though if too big it may end up being too many megabytes for website use.
