newTexture errors?!

[extol]

I am creating an overlay in my 3d scene using newTexture. It works fine in
Director, but when I publish it and run it in Shockwave, I get the error that
"Shockwave has script erros and cannot continue". I altered the Shockwave.ini
file to get the full out put and it only says "Error: -2147219502 ". If I
click "Yes" to continue, it goes for a bit and then gives me an "Object
expected" error. I placed alert() commands in my code until I narrowed down
the problem line:

txtr = pSprite.member.newTexture("myTexture1", #fromImageObject,
member("myImage").image)

Any ideas why this would work in Director, but not in Shockwave

If the texture type were #fromCastMember, then .image would be extraneous. But
as it is of type #fromImageObject, it is not.

This error looks like a texture creation of the same name as an existing
texture.

My 2 cents.

d'oh! i didn't look close enough, thout it was #fromCaseMember.

Perhaps the bitmap and 3D members are not loaded yet. Does the 3D member have a .state of 4, and are you sure the bitmap member is loaded?

good advice. you also might want to resetWorld(). lingo something like:

on enterFrame(me)
if member("w3d").state <> 4 then
_movie.go(movie.frame)
else
member("w3d").resetWorld()
end if
end enterFrame

crud i can't remember the lingo "not equal to" opertator. did i get it right?
in javascript syntax i use

(member("w3d").state != 4) ? _movie.go(_movie.frame) :
member("w3d").resetWorld();

Wow. Thanks for the help guys. II didn't check for a state = 4, but I do have
a frame where it checks every member of my cast to see it mediaReady = TRUE
before continuing on in the movie. Then a call to resetWorld() is made. Does
that accomplish the same thing you guys are talking about?

The reason I added that check is because before I was actually getting a
"media not ready" error. But now it's just the other error. And in my texture
creation handler, it checks to see if a texture by the same name already exists
and then deletes it if it does. So, I'm not sure what the error could be. Any
more insight would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Okay, I'm a moron. Somehow I switched my import settings to "Link to external
file" instead of "standard import". So the last 10 or so cast members weren't
included in my movie. And since they aren't there for my movie, they are never
ready and unavailable for use. I re-imported them with the correct settings
and it works fine. To everyone: don't make this same mistake. lol
