Launch Settings
Enable When
Specifies when the 3D model is activated. When the 3D model is enabled, you can interact with it by
using the 3D navigation tools, for example.
Disable When
Determines how the 3D model can be deactivated. When a 3D model is disabled, the 2D preview image
or poster appears in the canvas.
Playback Style
Enables you to display the 3D model in a floating window outside the page. If you select Play Content
In Floating Window, you can select the size of the window (in pixels) from the Height and Width menus.
Border Width
Select to create a border around the 3D object.
Transparent Background
Removes any background color.
Poster Image
To replace the default view of the 3D model when it isn’t activated, select a poster image option. Click
Browse to find the image you want.
Resources
Use the Resources tab to add files developed in Flash® to a 3D model for animation, effects, and textures. To bind a Flash
resource, select it from the list of resources, and then select a binding type (Foreground, Background, or Material). To
bind a material, also enter the material name for the part or parts where you want to display the material.
Add
Use to add SWF files for animations and backgrounds for the 3D model.
Add Directory
Select to add a directory of resource files to the 3D object.
Remove
Select a file in the list, and then click Remove to delete it from the file.
Name
Displays the name of the file that is selected from the list. You can also rename a resource, which is useful with
scripting. For example, you can replace the name with the one used in a script.
Binding
When adding files that are developed in Flash as a resource for a 3D model, binding determines how those
files interact. For example, you can identify a resource to run in the background and one to run in the foreground. After
you add the files to the file list, select one, and in the Binding section, select either Background, Foreground, or
Material.
Material
3D designers can use the Material field to define a material to use in a model. The material name can be
associated with a resource by selecting Material in the Binding section.
FlashVars
Flash developers can use the FlashVars field to add ActionScript™ variables for the selected file.
