At the risk of starting something of a tradition for our releases, it's time once again to take you for a little ride. RailAway Express is a ticket for a unique travel into the realm of Away3D 2.2 and it's new runtime model generation and animation features. Its probably my last Flash 9 demo too.
Almost everything you see along your journey in this 780 kb all in demo is code generated.
A special thanks goes to Andre Michelle and Joa Ebert for their help on the sound dynamics.
Some of the new features in 2.2 include:
Full update details will be posted on the AWAY3D mailing list. You can get the source files by accessing our svn repository or going to our downloads page.
Documentation will be updated within the next few days
I also will post soon some tutorials, probably when I'll return from FOTB.
So turn up your speakers and enjoy a wild ride into the realm of Away3D 2.2!

I saw this case on PPC macs. I’ll try to fixe asap. I don’t know yet what is causing the problem. Are you mac PPC based?

I’m quite intrigued by Away3D but hadn’t the chance yet to really start working with it. Is there any good place with starter tutorials? And if not they would certainly be welcome. I see a lot of online tutorials for PV3D but tutorials for Away3D seem to be rather scarce which is a pity.

Sasha, you can start at the source, away3d.com, under tutorials, examples… http://www.flashmagazine.com, http://blog.r3c7.net/?tag=away3d, http://www.infiniteturtles.co.uk etc..
The svn trunk host sources examples as well. If you come from PV, using Away is a snap since its more friendly… just join our group if you need some technical assistance.

@ Fabrice
Spot on. A g4 macbook pro.

Hey steve, have you updated the player recently? I’ve installed the f10 latest candidate and it doesn’t even give the f10 version number. The init of the demo was failing as well, I thought it was because the player installer…
On other hand, this demo will failed anyway for a g4, it will not be the ride you will have on new machines, if it rides at all. I’m affraid Its simply to much for such an old machine.
