About the Example
In this example I used the FreeSpin3D Action Script API to load a dynamic texture in runtime. Note: Changing textures are on file basis, meaning that you can load a new texture file instead of an existing one. 3D models may have one or more texture files, each has its own index. Before changing a texture file you need to know the index of the texture file you wish to change (indexes start at 0).
The FLA
For this example I used a 3D model of a cellular phone that has two texture files, one for the screen and one for the rest. In the FLA I imported the cellular phone 3D model using the FreeSpin3D Import Engine, created a background and an instance of the cellular 3D model on the stage. Using the FreeSpin3D Control Panel I add a keyboard control to the cellular phone, so it can be rotated using the keyboard arrows. I converted the cellular phone instance to a symbol, and added to it Glow and Shadow filters (using the Adobe Flash filters).
Using the FreeSpin3D Action Script API I dynamically load a texture that replaces the screen texture file (which has the index number 1).
The Adobe Flash CS4 Actions Layer (If using Adobe Flash CS3, see code in box below)
// save the original texture of the 3D model (used later)
var originalTextureObj:DisplayObject = new CellPhone_T1();
// add a mouse click listener to the load texture button
btnChangeTexture.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OnBtnClick);
function OnBtnClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
if(btnChangeTexture.label == "Load Texture")
{
// load an external texture file
Mc.my3DModel_fs.RviLoadTexture
("http://www.freespin3d.com/images/CellPhone_New.jpg", 1);
// change the text of the button
btnChangeTexture.label = "Revert";
}
else
{
// replace the loaded texture with the current one
Mc.my3DModel_fs.RviSetTextureFromDisplayObject(originalTextureObj, 1);
// change the text of the button
btnChangeTexture.label = "Load Texture";
}
}
The Adobe Flash CS3 Actions Layer
// Save the original texture object of the 3D model, for later use
var originalTextureObj:DisplayObject = new CellPhone_T1();
// Add a mouse listener to the button - used to dynamically change the texture
btnChangeTexture.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OnBtnClick);
function OnBtnClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
if(btnChangeTexture.label == "Load Texture")
{
// Load the external texture file
Mc.my3DModel_fs.RviLoadTexture("CellPhone_New.jpg", 1);
// Change the text on the button
btnChangeTexture.label = "Revert";
}
else
{
// Replace the external loaded texture with the original one
Mc.my3DModel_fs.RviSetTextureFromDisplayObject(originalTextureObj, 1);
// Change the text on the button
btnChangeTexture.label = "Load Texture";
}
}
