[Dir3d-l] 3D Member Load Time

[John Baro]

When I have a 3D member in a frame, there is always a noticeable  
delay when entering or leaving that frame.  The more complex it is  
(higher polygon count), the longer the delay.  Preloading the member  
makes no difference, nor does setting the member's unload to never.   
I've also tried putting the 3D member in all frames, so it would  
never unload, but if I make it invisible or move its location off  
stage it still shows up on the stage.  Normally this is not a big  
problem, but I'm currently working on a kiosk application, and I'd  
like to make the interface as responsive as possible.  Delays of  
several seconds after a button is clicked is not acceptable.  Is  
there any way to avoid this delay?
