[Papervision3D] Can a DisplayObject3D accept and event listener?

[Ross Sclafani]

since an object has to have an interactive material to be catch  
events, i would guess the answer is no.
i have seen no indication that do3ds inherit interactivity from their  
children.
i would recommend adding the event to each of the children which have  
interactive materials.
OR, you could create a child ViewportLayer from the parent object  
(recursive:true), and catch standard MouseEvents from that.

i cannot say for sure this is the definitive answer since we're on the  
mailing list,
but if it were just you and me I'd sound confident enough for you to  
believe me.
believe me.
