Why do you need a containers for this in the first place?
Its all overhead for nothing. I understand from your mail it's the PV
way of doing things...
Looks like a hamburger construction to me... and as you know
hamburgers are not that healthy :))
A simple class being a custom primitive like the Plane object, top
half being the image information as is.
down part being the reflection illusion. The reflection part is a
simple gradient your merge with the image info.
A simple redraw or MovieMaterial is enough here.
If you need to fade the reflection, its just a matter of updating a
gradient before you merge if you use draw.
or just update your movieclip source if you use MovieMaterial.
The mapping info of the custom plane just needs to look like this:
U info: 0/1
V info: 1/0 0/1
The class just needs to autocenter on y if the image may vary on size.
addOnMouseDown, Over etc and you are done...
2 or 3 hours work max. Will run faster, reusable for other projects.
Simple & Clean.
If you need help for the build, just drop a mail, I'll help you.

Let take this photoflow as example.
http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/photoflow/
Each item is a ObjectContainer with photo and reflection.
I need to do fading on the reflection. So, i put all reflection object
in one layer and apply a mask.
Hope this more clear.

Thanks Li.
I have think of this idea. But seem not work in my case.
My object is in hierarchical structure.
e.g.
I have object structure
ObjectContainerA have ObjectA and ObjectB (fake shadow)
ObjectContainerB have ObjectC and ObjectD (fake shadow)
But i want to render Object B and ObjectD in the same layer. In
order
i can do some copypixel and effect on the layer.
Since papervision layer system is independent to object structure. i
can put any object in the same layer for render.
I dig in the code of away3d. I find something called render session.
Do this stuff help on my case?

Hey William,
If you set ownCanvas = true to any 3d object, it will be rendered
in its own
Sprite container. Once this is done you can apply any effects/
filters to it
as if it was a normal sprite. Furthermore, you can use an
ObjectContainer3D
to place other objects within it, set ownCanvas = true for the
container and
apply a filter to all, for instance:
var container:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
scene.addChild(container);
var obj1:Cube = new Cube();
obj1.x = 1000;
container.addChild(obj1);
var obj2:Sphere = new Sphere();
obj2.x = -1000;
container.addChild(obj2);
container.ownCanvas = true;
container.filters = [new BlurFilter()];
Haven't tested it, but it should work...
Hope it helps, and welcome to Away =)

Hi,
I am new to away3d. I try papervision 3d before. Now, I want to
switch
the work to away3d.
But I find a function missing in away3d which stop me for using
it -
Render Layer.
I have a scene with several object. In papaervision3d, I can
render
each object in different layer.
More, I can place different object in the same render layer and do
effect on all object as once in that layer.
I search though the api and code. I can't figure out how can I
do it
with away3d.
From the achieve of this mail group, I learn a method which
separate
the object in different view and render.
But, I find it is not practical in my case. Since the objects have
hierarchical structure, I don't want to break the structure.
Anyone have experience to deal with this issue?
William
