Hi Fabrice, Thank you for your response. Much much apreciated. My apologies if what i ask is pretty simple for more experienced away3d developers.
I have the example from here: http://www.flashmagazine.com/articlefiles/away3d/Basic08_sphere.as or in action http://www.flashmagazine.com/Tutorials/detail/away3d_basics_5_-_primitives_part_2/ using the sphere that has the panoramic image mapped to it. Started with that and modifed some of the code. So essentially i would like to be able to have a button that when it is active when i click on the sphere it places a point on the spot. And also then draw lines and maybe embed external objects. I hope that better illustrates what i mentioned before. And now for me to research the ideas you suggested before and find some examples to get me started.:) Once more thank you.
