OK, that is a big set of points and texcoods. Are there any other limits? What is the alternative? 
thanks Andreas,

Thanks for sharing.

It turns out that none of the event utilities are listed in the x3dom
documentation pages due to an oversight in the documentation
generation but they are all supported.

I looked at the Leif model and the problem it exposed was a limitation
of the number of parameters (65536) a function can accept in the
underlying javascript engine. The texcoordindex array is too large for
the Math.max function which is used. There is a simple alternative.
With that, the animation sequence works but shows graphical artefacts
including white cubes.
