Papervision3D question, addEventListener to model.

Hi guys, I have a question, I want to load a 3D human model into papervision and then when someone clicks different parts of the human body things will happened…. Loading a 3D model is easy but any idea how to make different parts active (addEventListener) ?

You must do something like this:

var child : DisplayObject3D = object.getChildByName(“mesh”, true); child.addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_CLICK, objectClickHandler, false, 0, true);

Or something like this for all:

for each(var child : DisplayObject3D in obj.children) { child.addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_CLICK, objectClickHandler, false, 0, true); }

Yeah ok but how can I divide the mesh into sections, so I can add different listener to different parts of the body ?

Maybe this will help you.

function daeLoadHandler(event : Event) : void { var daeInstance = event.target; }

for(var name : String in daeInstance.children)
{
    var mesh = daeInstance.getChildByName(name);
}

for(var name:String in mesh.materials.materialsByName)
  {
       var meshMaterial : MaterialObject3D = mesh.materials.materialsByName[name];
       meshMaterial.interactive = true;
  }

mesh.addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_CLICK, animateDae, false, 0,    true);

Thanks for that, I am not really looking into coded solution just wanted to hear from you, as far as I know when you load a 3D model it is recognize as one single object so it is hard to determine what part of it was clicked…

Yes, but if you will divide your dae object into sub-objects and you will give them names in maya, 3d studio or whatever, you can use this solution.

Oh this is great I will have to do that!
