[Papervision3D] An easier way to access mesh objects inside a DAE?

[Seb Lee-Delisle]

and I would also store the resulting object into a property so you
don't have to perform the lookup every time.

so at the top of your class :

var bookTop: DisplayObject3D;

and when the collada has loaded :

bookTop = book.getChildByName('book_top", true);

then adjust the properties of bookTop as you like.

cheers!

Seb
