Hey,
Can anyone point me in the right direction when it comes to parsing a skp and displaying a 3d model on a website through silverlight or flash

Silverlight's still kinda slow as far as web 3d engines are concerned (although I'm expecting great things from it in the next few years).
So in flash there's alot of evolved graphic engines like Papervision3D for example. You use these libraries to load a certain 3d file format, I forgot the name.
Anyway, you then just export your sketchup file into this format, or into another format you could later convert. Although I think you need the FULL version of sketchup to export if I'm not mistaken...
You can use a tool such as 3DPaintBrush to export the Sketchup files to XAML which can then be used in Silverlight projects. Unfortunately 3DPaintBrush isn't free, but it does have a 15 day trial to see if it is worth getting.
