Devertex: At the time when i wrote flame last.fm’s crossdomain policy file (http://www.last.fm/crossdomain.xml) didn’t allow this and i had to hack around it. Now however it does so yes, as you’re saying, it would work with getting it directly.

Nice job.
It made me try my own papervision experiments. Thanks a lot.

Maybe you could try to load the images directly from last.fm. The current line you use to load photos is:
imageLoader.load( new URLRequest( “http://www.anttikupila.com/crossdomain-proxy.php?url=” + _image ) );

and something like this would do the job ; )
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext ();
loaderContext.checkPolicyFile = true;
imageLoader.load( new URLRequest( _image ) , loaderContext );

I doesn’t have tested it since I’can’t compile it right now but this is something I had to do to load photos from flickr for my experiments.
I hope it helps.

Nice use of PV3D.

I’m viewing using the Flash 9r115 Debug player and I get the following runtime errors when using arrow keys zooming in and rotating.

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

That’s weird. I changed a small thing that makes it check the policy file in advance (which is *, meaning it should be allowed to load without extra fuzz). Maybe it’s better now?

If it suddenly doesn’t work, it is almost certainly because Last.fm has changed something somewhere. This has happened multiple times already and unless I fix the app to come around those changes, it stops working (and since it’s just a quick experiment, you of course won’t be notified in any way ).

However, since I still have huge demand for this one, I decided to fix it. So now, Oct 10th, it works again!

If you notice it stopping working, please let me know. Or even better; download the source, fix the problem and share what you learned with me

Same error here (only in English). After I ‘upgraded’ from flash player 9 debugger to the normal flash player 9, nothing happens at all. And I would love to see it in action!
