[away3d] MovieMaterial on Sphere not rendering correctly

[Rich Elmes]

I am having trouble with MovieMaterial on a Sphere

the MovieClip is a dynamically loaded .swf of a sun surface texture
(.swf dimensions are 512x512) which is simply a cross fading image in
order to get some surface activity

here is an example of the texture as it is in the suntexture.swf :

however the texture ends up rendering like this : http://i.imgur.com/wGDoY.png

am I missing something obvious?

thanks in advance :)

You are using a Sphere right and not a GeodesicSphere?

[Rich Elmes]

yup

sun = new Sphere({radius:13000,segmentsW:20,segmentsH:10});
sun.material=new MovieMaterial(currantBun);

(currantBun contains the loaded suntexture.swf)

i'm using 3.4.0 from the website

I tried using a BitmapMaterial instead and it renders correctly, so I
guess i'll have to do without surface activity for the time being

AnimatedBitmapMaterial is working fine :)
