@wintermute:
I extended the extrudeMesh function to set the material of the extruded mesh. Just change this to your code:

e.g.
extrudeMesh(textfield2, 3, 1, false, new ColorMaterial(0xA02860));

private function extrudeMesh(mesh:Mesh, subdivisionsXY:uint = 1, subdivisionsZ:uint = 1, bothsides:Boolean = false, material:ITriangleMaterial = null ):void {
…
extrusion.material = material;
…
}

Hello,

I could not set the color of the extruded text. It appears to be different color each time i start the swf.

also where can we get support for away3d

All the best,
Can

Li,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes please do let me know when the clipping is fixed. I’m using your great work to do some fun typography stuff for my new company website.

All the best,
Marc

Hey Marc,

1) Incorrect clipping near the edges is something I need to fix next time I get a chance to work on this.
2) I think Rob Bateman has added interactivity to textfields, why don’t you post this on the Away list so he can tell us how to use it?

Ok two questions:
1) my text clips when nearing the edge of the SWF. the character essentially disappears if it touches the edge

2) any way to make it .interactive = true so I can make them buttons?
