Thanks for that :) I have already managed to drag the object as you describe but it didnt achieve the desired effect
Basically im trying to make a text engine using Away3d to curve text along a path that can be changed dynamically at runtime. Then I want to send the text to a bitmapdata object from Away3d and then place it on the stage as bitmap inside a flash movieclip so it can recieve mouseEvents and all the other native flash as3 classes can be used. Ive managed to get halfway there and have passed a bitmap from a textfield3d object, but the bitmap is of the entire stage and not just my text. So I tried using getColourRectBounds() on the bitmapdata to extract the coloured text but i cant get it to work which means the draggable bitmap i have is the full size of the stage. Not ideal when I have 3 or of the text fields I want to drag about because the ones at the bottom cant recieve the mouse click to start the drag function. Does anybody have any tutorials or anything to point me towards this sort of thing thats already been done?
