I'm not sure why this didn't make a bigger splash in the blogosphere, but I've just had a client of mine show me one of their designs in a pdf as a 3D model! You can rotate, pan, zoom and even change the lighting on the subject matter. Very cool stuff - and as far as I can tell you only need Acrobat 7 to view it.
Check out this pdf example from the Adobe site: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/3d_pdf_demo.pdf (be sure to click the buttons at the top to see the animations)
Can't to see what implications this could have with the forthcoming Apollo framework and the convergence of Flash and Acrobat.
So it's been nigh on two months since I first experienced a strange Firefox webservice issue. My previous post details what was going on with the converter application and it's seemingly non-cross platform behaviour. I've tried a few different things since my first post, including logging bug reports with Adobe (which got no feedback), posting on forums as well as to the Flexcoders mailing list. All without any real assistance, so today I finally thought I'd connect up a different webservice (webservicex.com) and hey presto, It now works in Firefox!!!
I've gotta admit, this one tiny little issue has actually been holding me back from delving deeper into Flex 2. So now I'm over this one annoyance, I'll get back into cranking out some more Flex stuff.
