Re: 3D member images 2004-03-25 - By Martin Pallett

Sorry, hadn't paid enough attention to the bit about two members!
I think it should work as long as the MIAW has access to both members i.e
put them both in an external cast that is linked to the stage movie and the
MIAW. This way your MIAW can refer directly to member("head") rather than
telling the stage. I have been using this technique for some time to do
screenshots just using one member accessed from two places, but don't see
why it wouldn't work with two members.
cheers,
Martin
