"works in director,not in browser" woes

I don't get any errors - I suspect that you need to error
check that 
media are loaded before trying to use them - you may also
want to 
force some optimization  - make sure you unload stuff if it
isn't 
used.

Other than that - I'm puzzled by the interface - It isn't
clear how to 
navigate back - and scrolling is a bit of a mystery at first
as well.

Nice models though. Did you include anything to reveal
geometry - 
sometimes that helps to see the wireframe on a hotkey that
sort of 
thing.
