Hey Thomas<br><br>currently, the ISM in pv3d2.0 is setup to only react to 3d object interaction, and interaction through a MovieMaterial with interactive set to true. In the case of MovieMaterial, mouse events are passed to the source movie using VirtualMouse which is an implementation that hooks into the event model of any instances that extend the UIComponent class.
<br><br>The problem is that the guy i was replying to was asking about using a SimpleButton, which does not work with VirtualMouse. I'm not sure why the Grden wasn't around to answer the poor guys questions, but he's certainly done so before:

<br><br><a href="http://www.rockonflash.com/blog/?p=74">http://www.rockonflash.com/blog/?p=74</a><br><br><br>the only reason i replied to the post was because the responses given were misleading and ultimately wouldn't have worked. The response i gave was relevant, and offered a solution that is viable. Of course, you could just use a Button object (inheriting from UIComponent) and have things work just as well in pv3d, but maybe this guy was a designer and didn't want to lose his simplebuttons. or maybe he'd just started poking around 3d in flash and was trying to get stuff working the way he wanted. Either way, i fail to see how my post could be considered spam.
<br><br>I haven't had a chance to check the list for a while and my replies have come all at once, but only when they are relevant to the topic of discussion and where i feel Away3d may make someones life easier. We don't have a generic 3d list where the topic can be about anything related to flash and 3d (yet). But it has always been acceptable in the past to talk about 3d related topics on this list, not just those relating to Papervision.
<br><br>I think the problem you draw attention to is the perception (still) that Away3d is a rival of Papervision. This is simply not true, and never has been. I love what Papervision has achieved and we have mutual respect for each other. Away3d is just an alternative - a way of doing things that takes a different approach. And that's it! we even make claims to being 'derived from papervision' on our googlecode page. What sort of rival does that!?
<br><br>i hope this clears up my recent posting activity, and we can get back to the far more important task of helping to create the best 3d content in flash with the minimum of fuss<br><br><br>Rob<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
