Hi…
I generate 4 planes and their materials with a for cycle (from …but when I click on them their name are starting from 6 to 9 instead of 1-4…why?
here’s the code:
//// start
var menuItems:Number=4
var menuLabels:Array=new Array(‘Abcd’,'Abcdacbd’, ‘Accabcab’, ‘abc’)
for (var i:Number=1;i

root['my_menuItem'+i].title_mc.title_txt.text=menuLabels[i-1]
root['menuItem_material'+i]=new MovieMaterial(root['my_menuItem'+i],true);
root['menuItem_material'+i].interactive=true;

root['menuItem_material'+i].movieTransparent = true;
root['menuItem_material'+i].animated = true;
root['menuItem_material'+i].smooth = true;
root['menuItem_material'+i].precise = true;
root['menuItem_plane'+i]=new Plane(root['menuItem_material'+i],250,50,34+i,35+i);

root['menuItem_plane'+i].x=500
root['menuItem_plane'+i].y=-50-(60*i)
root['menuItem_plane'+i].z=-100
trace ('plane '+root['menuItem_plane'+i])

root['menuItem_plane'+i].addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_CLICK,on_item_clicked);

scene.addChild(root['menuItem_plane'+i]);
///

}
//// end
the output it's
plane 6: x:500 y:-110 z:-100
plane 7: x:500 y:-170 z:-100
plane 8: x:500 y:-230 z:-100
plane 9: x:500 y:-290 z:-100

@Peter – this tutorial has been updated to extend BasicView. I left old tutorials in case someone wanted to reference them later.
Here is the updated tutorial:

Is there a way just to have the code and replace the collada files? just to switch objects faster. i know of coarse you’ll have to change the code a little replacing “cow” with whatever. but is there that possibility?

please put the following line at the beginning of function processFrame:

if (stage.width <= 0 || stage.height <= 0) {
return;
}

When this function is called before initialization, cow and camera posstion will be a NaN, causing a white screen.

distanceTo() is defined in the DisplayObject3D class

but there is still something to fix in this movement

thanks for the reply. took me the whole night to figure out what’s wrong.

since I’m building it with flex.

just 30 seconds ago. when I execute the .swf files instead of launching the HTML on IE7 it worked. I didn’t change anything but it worked.

My guess was just either IE7 was not in the mood last night or the Sever’s been slow.

Hey Jaziel,

The code should not be broken. I just personally ran a test from scratch. Please ensure you’re using the latest papervision classes.

You can download them from SVN here:
http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/source/checkout

or I went ahead and compiled a zip of the latest for you:
http://papervision2.com/download/papervision/papervision-classes.zip

Please also make sure that you’re using the latest paperbase class found here:
