Shader script is making error in Shockwave

[lduncalfe]

Hi My script for creating a shader seems to be preventing my project from
being able to be viewed in Shockwave format. It works fine as a projector, or
in the 3D window in Director. I have a line in my Main movie script that
calls createShaders(). The function createShaders looks like this: --
createShaders on createShaders shd1 = obj.newShader('noiseShader', #standard)
txt1 = obj.newTexture('noiseTexture', #fromCastmember,
member('noise_shader')) obj.shader('noiseShader').textureList[1] = txt1
obj.shader('noiseShader').shininess = 0 obj.shader('noiseShader').ambient =
color(63,63,63) obj.shader('noiseShader').diffuse = color(238,238,238)
obj.shader('noiseShader').specular = color(255,255,255)
obj.shader('noiseShader').emissive = color(50,50,50)
obj.shader('noiseShader').blend = 50 obj.shader('noiseShader').textureMode =
#wrapPlanar end createShaders What's going wrong?

Yeah, Director has a habbit of doing this to my scripts sometimes. I have a
theory that playing withing projectors and director itself execute code
slightly differently compared to when viewing it in a browser. The way I fix
this is to always assume that the object(s) I'm working with (obj in your case)
may not exist yet. I do this by checking for obj.state == 4 before I do
anything with it. It might be the case that your 3DMember hasn't fully finished
sorting itself out in the browser before calling createShaders(). Hope this
