You need to use loader, not content.

hmm..but to create a TextureMaterial out of the loaded content hmm....

right, no 3d engines with google, native flash 3d only

and maybe pixel bender filters

You can put output=xml instead, and dm=1 to enable depth map output for the pano street view's xml info, you get some encoded string for the 3d depth map. eg. http://cbk1.google.com/cbk?output=xml&dm=1&pm=1&ph=1&v=4&panoid=07gbqMWIg_HId5m7W94qHg .. But does anyone know how to read this depth map?. it doesn't look like Base64 to me and probably their own cipher? There are streams of AAAA around, probably flat /blank areas?

Glidias, I think this is relevant code http://pastie.org/2642736

It's indeed Base64. Compressed byte array. Up to 255 plane indices lookup per pano, each pixel is therefore a single byte index, from which a (low-res) depth/normal map can be created if one so wishes. This is mentioned in a pdf article as well on streetview. http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/research.google.com/en//pubs/archive/36899.pdf
