I think I started from one of those... The view is across the arrow lakes in Revelstoke, BC, Canada... Not too far from Scotland :p Hi Martin,

Glad the rectangle helped :)

Rectangle worked for me. I have tried to replicate your card using the examples from Flint, but in all cases the particles do not display in Papervision. I think at the moment Flint/PPV integration goes in the "insufficent knowledge" category. BTW is that a view of Scottish mountains? Kelvin

If I remember correctly, the solution is to pass a Rectangle in as the 5th argument to your MovieMaterial constructor. This sets the size of the material and prevents papervision from trying to calculate it itself. Hope that helps, Kelvin :) I have had a similar issue before.

But, if the SWFs have objects instantiated offstage or have objects animated to move offstage, the display in Papervision continuously tries to rescale the image. And those objects continue to be visible as they leave the stage. I know very little about Flint. I assume it instantiates particles offstage in an emitter? Did you have a similar problem with this card? I have successfully made a two sided plane in Papervision and used SWFs in movie materials.
