[Dir3d-l] Re: activex 3d problem

Hi Paul,

Would the additional step have been grabbing the image of the 3D
member ( using the 3dmember.defaultRect property to ensure that the
image is exactly the same ), and pasting it to the stage below the 3D
sprite, to give the illusion that nothing has changed during the 1x1
pixel 3d sprite re-DTS-ing period?

It would be great if there was a more straight forward way of course!

Regards...
Mal
