[Papervision3D] Rendering order of objects

[Steve D]

Papervision's z-sorting isn't as robust as a top-notch desktop application.
Its pretty good for most applications, but it can fail pretty spectacularly
when there are lots of objects clustered closely together. Its one of the
tradeoffs of flash, I suppose.

You're probably going to have to write your own sorting methods using
layers.

:(
