Regarding the error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getPosition through a reference with static type org.papervision3d.core.geom:Vertex3D

I did the reinstall of papervision several times, but I found that by removing my Classpaths to my own custom class directories under Preferences > Actionscript 3 Settings did the trick.

Same problem as mentioned above: blank screen in flash player. No errors, no nothing! I used the exact code as in this part4 of the ‘Basic Template Usage’ tutorial. What is Wrong? I’m using PV3D latest version as well as Flex SDK 3 and the latest version of FlashDevelop.

Swimminem, did you see the comments on the get the tools tutorial? Someone else had the same prob, and they were pointing to “I had PV3D 1.5 in my classpath..”

I am getting the following error.
C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Adobe\Resource Central\as classes\org\papervision3d\core\geom\Vertices3D.as: Error: Can not resolve a multiname reference unambiguously. org.papervision3d.core.geom:Vertex3D (from C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Adobe\Resource Central\Papervision 1_5\PV3D_1_5\src\org\papervision3d\core\geom\Vertex3D.as) and org.papervision3d.core.geom.renderables:Vertex3D (from C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Adobe\Resource Central\as classes\org\papervision3d\core\geom\renderables\Vertex3D.as) are available.

the 2 lines in vertices3D.as that are noted call for Vertex3D.

I checked my downloaded copy of Vertices3D.as against the latest on code.google.com and each line is identical.

Anyone know what is happening?

The empty scene may be caused by the flash player verson , it seems can’t play on ver.8

I figured out why I have a blank screen. If you look in the project window, under coneexample there is a src area. At least in my case, THAT source file (main.as) is not the one you’re editing, so none of your source changes are going into the final output. The clue was that no matter what I added, the build size never changed.

The solution for me was to locate the real main.as (it is underneath, but at the same level as the src folder) and MOVE it into the src folder, overwriting the one that was there.

Now my build size is 98K instead of 828 bytes and it actually works!

Same problem. Compiles perfectly, then when I run it, the flash player comes up but is totally blank.

I get the following error when I compile this in Flash CS3 using Papervision3D_2.0.883 (the latest version I found available at http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/downloads/list):

Vertices3D.as, Line 144 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getPosition through a reference with static type org.papervision3d.core.geom:Vertex3D.

How do I fix this?

Thank you! I’ve been dying to dive into Papervision for about a year now, and after finally getting my head around Flex/AS/Flash + learning Blender, I desperately tried to find a good starting point for pv3D 2.0… And your tutorial really helped glue the missing bits!

For other beginners like myself, my initial difficulties had to do with the correct import statements and also remembering adding the Sprite to a UICompenent (for flex).

Cheers
