Trying to learn Director and am having some trouble. I am dynamically swapping image maps on my imported object. When the object is dragged onstage, it is properly mapped and looks fine. However, when I try to apply a new image from the cast as a map, the UVs appear to get messed up.
Someone in the Director forum suggested that I "render to texture" before exporting the object from Lightwave. Now, the poster stated that this option exists in other 3D applications, but he didn't know about LightWave. He also stated that it has nothing to do with the Shockwave exporter. I am guessing that he is talking about surface baking, and may be misunderstanding my problem.
Anyone know what he may mean by "render to texture?"
On a separate note, when I said I could swap textures in Director, I can but only with Lingo (Lingo is actually documented.) I want to write everything using JavaScript in Director as it is so close to ActionScript which I am already familiar with. Are there any Director/JavaScript gurus in this forum? I am not finding many in the Adobe forums
