[Papervision3D] MovieScene3D.getChild()

[Patrick Matte | BLITZ]

Yeah that property would be best cause you wouldn't need to loop through the spriteList to find that DisplayObject3D.

in as3 we wouldn't get away with that since Sprite doesn't have that property (it's not a dynamic object, so we can't have inappropriate relations with it).

what would be nice, and this is part of our rewrite discussion, is to designate an object that extends Sprite for PV3D to use when creating the containers.  And, you'd probably be right, if right about now, you were thinking we should create a Sprite3D() and use that ;)

It's a good argument.  I'm glad we had it ;)

Yeah that's why I thought you guys should put it in the source code.



Or maybe just create a simple reference to the DisplayObject3D inside the container...

Like :



private function mouseDownEvent( e : MouseEvent ) : void {

                var cube:DisplayObject3D = e.target.displayObject3D;

                trace("cube = " + cube);

}

Hey Pat, I think that's useful

Hey Papervision guys, tell me if there's an easier way of doing this but I wrote this method for the MovieScene3D and I think it's pretty useful so maybe you'd like to add it. So here's the method :



public function getChild(container:Sprite):DisplayObject3D {

                var child:DisplayObject3D;

                for(var i in spriteList){

                                if(container == spriteList[i]){

                                                child = i;

                                }

                }

                return child;

}



And it's used like this :



scene = new MovieScene3D(container);

for(var i=0;i<20;i++){

                var plane:Plane = new Plane();

                scene.addChild(plane);

                plane.container.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownEvent);

}



private function mouseDownEvent( e : MouseEvent ) : void {

                var cube:DisplayObject3D = scene.getChild (e.target as Sprite);

                trace("cube = " + cube);

}
