There's a really good 3D api we're playing with right now for Flash
(PaperVision3D) that doens't require a plug in. You should check it out.


I can't runthe neopets thing as it requires ActiveX, and I'm one of the
10% of people on an Apple. And don't forget the 50% of people in Europe
who don't use IE any more... plus Neopets is not actually that popular.
1 million is a tiny drop in the ocean when it comes to the 800 million
web users out there... If they're serious, they need to come up with a
FireFox version as people are becoming more cautious about downloading
"new" plugins.


Neopets isn't that popular (it's so yesterday!) :)


I will try it at the studio where we have a PC!
