[Papervision3D] Getting Texture Path From Collada Class ?!

[manar]

hmmm , so after sleeping a bit it's getting a little less cloudy .

It seems the automatic loading of textures is done by PV3D , I just needed
to put "null" as the material ... I was using some buggy collada yesterday
and when I sorted that out , intalling the recomended plugin , I didn't try
the null argument again .

But as I said what I want is to get the texture pathes out of every material
. Looking in the Collada.as code , there are many great functions there ,
they just happen to be private ... setting getTexture to public does the
trick , I can specify the material name and it gives me the binded path .
There are some interesting functions there also , mostly the Matrix
transforms , although you can do the same with geometry.transformVertices()
I suppose and the COLLADA variable to get access to the XML .

Again I don't know if I'm doing this right or if there is another simpler
way (please tell) but anyway I can now finally get the pathes and somehow
get the materials too ... I say somehow because I can only get those through
the method : collada.materialsList() wich returns a string and then I have
to parse the whole string for the individual materials ... I do this because
if I try something like this :

		private function onLoaded(e : Event) : void {
			scene3d.addChild(collada);
			label.text = "Initializing : Model is Loaded";

			stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
		}
		
		private function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void
		{
			collada.yaw(.4);
			scene3d.renderCamera(camera);
			
			materialsList = new MaterialsList;
			materialsList = collada.getMaterialsList();
			
			for each (var material:Object in materialsList.materialsByName)
			{
				label.appendText(material.toString());
			}
			
			label.appendText(" #### Material List loaded succesfully");
		}		

I end up with the label showing : "Initializing : Model is Loaded" . In fact
it seems anything I do after I try to access the MaterialsList Class is just
not processed . Is this a bug ? or am I doing something wrong here ?
