[away3d] simple extension to cube

[Pierre Karadia]

Something really simple:

I want to setup multiple instances of the same object, so I thought it 
would be easier to create a custom class and then just call new 
instances of that, but it just is not returning what it should

can anyone highlight what is going wrong:

-- the specific cube class

package com.myCUBE
{
   import away3d.core.base.Object3D;
   import away3d.materials.ColorMaterial;
   import away3d.primitives.Cube;
  
   public class innerCube
   {
      
       public var aCube:Cube;
              
       public function innerCube(cubeMat:Array, cubeSize:uint, 
cubeName:String)
       {
           buildCube(cubeMat, cubeSize, cubeName);
           //trace(cubeMat, cubeSize,cubeName);
       }
      
       private function buildCube(cubeMat:Array, cubeSize:uint, 
cubeName:String):Object3D {
          
           aCube = new Cube();
           aCube.material = new ColorMaterial(0xffcc00);
//            aCube.cubeMaterials.front = new ColorMaterial(0xCCCCCC);
//            aCube.cubeMaterials.back = cubeMat[1];
//            aCube.cubeMaterials.left = cubeMat[2];
//            aCube.cubeMaterials.right = cubeMat[3];
//            aCube.cubeMaterials.top = cubeMat[4];
//            aCube.cubeMaterials.bottom = cubeMat[5];
           aCube.bothsides = true;
          
           aCube.width = aCube.height = aCube.depth = cubeSize;
           aCube.name = cubeName;
          
           return aCube;
       }
   }
}

then in the application (separate class):
      import com.myCUBE.innerCube;

       protected function initObjects():void {
      
  
       var rowA_0:Cube = new innerCube(mat1, 500, "A0");
       rowA_0.rotationX = 45;
       rowA_0.rotationY = 45;
      
       view.scene.addChild(rowA_0);
       trace("Objects initialised");   
       }

--

what is happening is that it is adding a cube on the stage but taking 
none of the properties set by the innerCube class..
