Ok, I got it to work. Thanks Pjanssen. I failed to export the nl folder from the source files. So the viewer is working now. Finally I can stop posting,lol
Here is a rough version of the model.

Ah cool! Glad you got it working.
Ok, Its me again. The problem king,lol.
I’m trying to load the swf viewer file in my flash website. When I test the file via flash the file works fine, (I’ve fixed the previous problem). I loaded the file to my server and it opens fine and plays. When I link to the swf via action script and apply it to a button file does not play
Trans_btn.onRelease = function() {
load_imagesAd.loadMovie(“f3dv.swf”);
}

(click Transformer button)
After solving a few problems I’m almost to the finish line can someone please help.
Ok, Delay my last.
Its working now
hi gemini82..no your flash is still not working...well at least for me :)
@ pier: the latest version has a path problem. the application only works within the folder where it was compiled.
nor other folders nor internet html implementation will work with theses f3dv files.
WORKAROUND: use version 111
[ http://www.threesixty.nl/maxscript/f3dv_111_setup.exe ]( http://www.threesixty.nl/maxscript/f3dv_111_setup.exe)
this will work. and for the compilation of the frames you best use a batch file.->
navigate to your rendered frames directory and copy all files from
3ds Max 9\scripts\f3dvExporter\f3dvCompiler to this location.
create a textfile and place a line like this inside
f3dvCompiler "yourframefilewithoutnumbers.jpg" "youroutputfile.f3dv" 10 5 4 4 true 1 true false
(pier please add this example to your compiler help; it took me hours to find the right syntax ;) even with this help)f3dvCompiler <String jpegFilename>[color=Gray]
<String outputFile>[/color][color=Gray]
<Int hFrames>[/color][color=Gray]
<Int vFrames>[/color]
[color=Gray] <Int hFrameStart>[/color]
[color=Gray] <Int vFrameStart>[/color]
[color=Gray] <Boolean fullHRot>[/color]
[color=Gray] [Int rObject:1][/color]
[color=Gray] [Boolean createViewer:true][/color]
[color=Gray] [Boolean deleteTempFiles:false][/color]
[color=Gray] [/color][size=2][size=1]NOTE: you have to re-render your frames with the old script package.
[/size][/size]if you used the newer version of this script first, the nomenclature of the saved frames differs to the old.
the compiler searches only for the old nomenclature.
[color=Lime][size=2]
after creating the textfile rename it to *.bat
double click it.
…
see the compiler fail…correct your typos and syntax
…
double click it.
see the beautiful compiler work like a charm.
[/color][/size]put the files *.f3dv and *.swf anywhere you want and drag and drop the swf file into a browser window or icon.
or use the cool html file you can create in the old version, when rendering, for a template to publish the film on the web!
Hmm that’s a nasty bug indeed.
I’ll see if I can look into it somewhere this week or the next.
Thanks for pointing it out!
It would be very cool to be able to add hotspots to the 3d models, for example by combining your current solution with semi transparent low poly papervision 3D objects. This way we could have clickable objects. Adding this xtra feature would make this solution closer to feel like real interactive 3D. Let me know what you think.
Thanks for this nice tool! Keep up the good work.
Heya, is the above mentioned workaround with v.111 the only one solution how to make it working?
thnx. Fs
If you have flash you can also compile the viewer manually from the source files.
I haven’t really had a moment to look into the problem yet.
I should actually start thinking about any further plans with this project. For one, conversion to AS3.0 might be a good idea. Restructuring the flash code is quite necessary too I think.
Adding interactivity might be a fun thing to explore too.
However, the large file sizes will remain a problem to take into consideration.
Ok, Thnx. for your answer.
I would like to say that this project of yours is really great and I like it:)
I´m looking forward for newer versions if you will find some time to make them.
