[Papervision3D] how to make a 3d object interactive

[barbara]

Hello!

I'm using Flex and PV3D. I had a lot of troubles before in order to make the
UI pass in front of the viewport. I finally managed (see this post
http://www.nabble.com/Flex-UI-behind-papervision-objects-tt17583522.html#a17686149
).
Today however, I've rewritten my whole code, trying to better distribute my
it on several components and mxml files.
I've managed to re-put the viewport behind the UI, but It has become
completely uninteractive. I've tried all sorts of tricks, including the
solutions presented here, but it's as if there was a transparent flex UI in
front of the viewport that was blocking the eventlisteners. Is it even
possible?
Any idea?
