Your using SAI code which is scripting code for X3D.  We do not support 
loading VRML files with SAI.  They have somewhat different event models. 
 We shouldn't be crashing on it, but we won't load the file either. 
Basically it should return a failure to you.  An X3D browser is allowed 
to do this, but we have not implemented it.

You can use the EAI if you want to load VRML files with Xj3D.
