Rad thanks Eric! (:
yeah the lighting will be part of the editor before too long. I want to get
shaders working first because it'll change how lights work, but i want to
get the animation system upgraded more before going back to shaders. Today
im going to try and do one last actionscript sample that has sound and a
loading screen, but then go back to working on the animation system.
very neat though, we have all our stuff laid out and organized, thats really
nice (:
