Right now, there's static methods in Go3D that return a Go3Dproperty. Tween3D has an array called propertyChanges and if there is an array in the propertyChanges argument, I just set it straight away - no parsing required. It's all ready to go and is filled with Go3DProperty objects.<br> <br>Thoughts?<br>-- <br>[ JPG ] <span><ATT00001.txt></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
