[Dir3d-l] 3dMember.state and Firefox

[Pat]

Just for the record the fault was with my cheap hosting.. trying it on a
different server sorted it out.

Hi Tom,
I moved the netError call into the main loop and it seems I'm getting a
nasty 4836 (downloading stopped for an unknown reason) with Firefox.. Now I
just got to figure out why.. but at least I'm on the right track now!
Thanks!
chrs,
Pat

Ummm, are you _certain_ that the network operation is complete AND
successful? You only check netDone() but you do not check netError() to
ensure that all was ok, that's a potentially problematic assumption.
That's the only thing that jumps out after checking the code you
provided. And your error checking of netError() only seems to occur
while netDone() reports false, why is that? You only want to check for
errors when the operation is done.

FYI, on my end the first viewing it seemed to stick on a state of 3,
then further attempts hang on a state of 1. ??? If I clear my cache and
try again it hangs on 3 once more.

Other FYI, the URL you cite as being used in the loadFile() call does
seem legit (I dl'd and viewed your tunnels model), double check that
you're using the same URL in your preload call to be sure.
