Hi,
compliments for this website…it’s a great inspiration.
I noticed that you always use only one class in Papervision…and that’s what I have done until now…but now with a particular project I wanted to split the papervision stuff in a class Main that imported other 3 classes…
but I get a error I cannot solve:

in my Main class extending BasicView I call another class, also extending basic view…I just call:

var inst:MyOtherClass= new MyOtherClass();
myDisplayObject3D.addChild (inst)

this normally would work just fine…but in Papervision (2.0)

and I receive the error:

C:\********\Main.as:46: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type com.whatever:MyOtherClass to an unrelated type org.papervision3d.objects:DisplayObject3D.

Any suggestion?
thanks,
Max

Hi, great tutorial.

Qq, what is the purpose of -15 in the onRenderTick method?

Thanks.

adding this metatag ( after the includes ) fixed the issue for me, in an as3 project in flash builder 4:

[SWF(width="800", height="600")]

thanks for the tutorial

I made a modified version of this on my websites that supports camera panning with the object.

@bruno & @flex3d Have you set your stageAlign and stageScale properties? Also check the dimensions of the movie you are exporting (should be 800 x 600). If neither of those options work I will test it out in FlashBuilder shortly and get an update out.

Hello,
Very nice tutorial!

However, I have a little problem witht the sphere display:
I pan the isView so that the top corner of the grid touch the top of the stage, so that I have a could view the entire grid.
When the sphere got to the far bottom of the grid, it is hidden.
I didn’t manage to make it appears on the last squares of the bottom of the grid.
Since the sphere is managed by papervision I am a little bit confused how to solve the problem:
Should I configure the viewport or the isoScene, or isoView?
Should I play with the z-index?

Sorry I don’t know much about papervision so I don’t know how to handle this problem…

Thanks in advance for any hint or advices!
Regards
Regis
