to access the parent of any object, simply use:
myObject3D.parent
generally speaking, it is good practice to keep object a scene hierarchy
with names, so that they are easy to access. A named object can be returned
simply by doing:
scene.getChildByName("myobjectName");
this will locate the object with the given name no matter where it is in the
scene hierarchy
