Importing Object Shape through script

Hi,

We are trying to change Transporter shape through script as mentioned below:

str1 ="Truck\Truck.wrl" ;
setnodestr(node("/Truck1>visual/shape",model()),str1);

Above script is writing TruckTruck.wrl in 3d shape part not Truck\Truck.wrl.

I am not sure why it is happening and what is the remedy.

Kindly advise.

'\' is an escape character used to put things like tabs, new lines, or quotes into a string. To put a backslash into a string in Flexscript, C, C++, or many other languages, you need two of them:

string str1 ="Truck\\Truck.wrl" ;

Shashank,

another way is to use the frame attribute. If your original shape is "Truck.wrl", call the optional one "TruckFRAME1.wrl".
Then you can just use setframe(object,frame no) in this case

setframe(thetruck,1);

to change to the other frame. To return to the original frame just reset it to zero again.
You can use as many frame shapes as you want to, but you have to start with FRAME1 and all the following frame need to be consecutive numbers.
