[Papervision3D] DAE interactivity basics

[Jesse Morrison]

Hi

Just trying to get my head around loading Collada models and making them 
respond to the mouse.

Can I add an event listener for CLICK to the model itself, or do you 
always need to add the listener to a material? I see that you can't set 
"interactive = true" for a DisplayObject3D.

What if I'm bringing in flat-shaded polys from Max (with some faces 
having different colors)? I'm not interested in adding materials, as I'm 
exploring the effects I can get with a more "cel-shaded" look. A problem 
is that beveled text objects in Max export with plenty of trangles, and 
I have no idea how I would apply flat-shaded materials selectively in 
PV3D to, say, just the front of the model.

I have also been unable to export materials from Max 2008 using the 
ColladaMax plugin. The geometry exports fine, but I don't see any 
options for the materials.

Ideally, I could model in Max, export the DAE and load into PV3D, then 
assign a mouse listener to the entire model as-is, with no need to 
fiddle with materials. It seems like this must be possible.

Thanks

Jesse
