I have been working with the following I have my models brought them in from Prefab. I have been looking at http://www.wemakedotcoms.com/_exp/hype/900Cubes/main.html and applied some filters the same way he did with the hype framework. That proved to be a costly error because I spent upwards of 8 hours tracking down why I couldn't click on my fish in my fish tank. The reason was because I had applied the filter to a layer that was higher than everything else and as a result it would capture all my clicks : ( So the I started looking at applying the filters to only the fish and some other objects but I can't ever see the filter I won't break but it never renders.
Then I was looking at http://away3d.googlecode.com/svn/branches/lite/bin/ExLayer.swf and that works well their I am perplexed though because I can't seem to get a filter:( /////////////////////////////// var fish:Object3D=twFishOne; // twFishOne is a class of TwFish1 extends ObjectContainer3D this was put together with PreFab // var layer:Sprite = new Sprite(); view.scene.addChild(fish); fish.layer = layer; view.addChild(fish.layer); fish.layer.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFFFFFF, 1, 40, 40, 80, 1)]; fish.layer.filters =[new BlurFilter(2,20,1)]; twFishOne.name = "fish" + i; /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// In short this is what I am trying to make it look like only clickable: You can zoom around with the scroll wheel. http://i-create.org/actionscript/sweetTides/TweetTank1.html http://i-create.org/actionscript/sweetTides/TweetTank2.html - without filters In the end I would like the experiment to be something kind of like this that I worked on with webGL but you won't be able to see unless you have a firefox nightly build. It is a 3D mashup of twitter results. I want the flash version analyze the sound and have the fish swim and glow to the music. I am really stuck on this layer thing filter issue right now. Another question can I make a filter that is attached to the whole view port or stage non-interactive ? http://i-create.org/2010/04/26/webgl-tweettank-built-with-c3dl-part-2/ Anyway If I can get this to work I will be more than happy to repost the code so others can learn from it as well. Thanks for the advice.
