[Papervision3D] MovieMaterial and getChildByName

[Trevor Burton]

because the movie property is an instance of DisplayObject.... not Sprite or
above - which have a getChildByName method... so you'll need to cast the
movie to Sprite or Movieclip before calling getchildByName()

(moon.material.movie as MovieClip).getChildByName("spot");

i think... could be wrong, though
