[Papervision3D] Not Just Another MovieMaterial Question HEEEELPP!

[Cyberfish]

Krystian thanks for responding.  I switched some code around and put the
movieclip var above the moviematerial var.  That, did not work
unfortunately.  On a sidenote, the error that I keep throwing is
replicated....forever it seems, or at least until flash freezes.  Im not
sure if this is relevant, but it also seems to be replicating at the precise
rate that the particles in my swf are being generated.
