[away3d] addOnMouseDown(clickHandler);

[Darcey Lloyd]

Hi guys,

I am creating a bitmap material on the fly of some text like so:

var container:Sprite = new Sprite()
var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat.bold = true;
txtFormat.size = 140;
txtFormat.color = 0x0000CC;
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
txt.text = (1900+i).toString() + ":";
txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
txt.setTextFormat(txtFormat);
container.addChild(txt);

var bmatData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,150,false,0xcccccc);
var bmat:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
bmatData.draw(container);
var mat:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(bmatData);

var p:Plane = new Plane();
p.material = mat;
// etc

This works fine, however when I addOnMouseDown to the plane like so:

p.mouseEnabled = true;
p.useHandCursor = true;
p.addOnMouseDown(clickHandler);


The only part that is actually clickable is the part of the bitmap that is
not the clone of the textfield.

Interestingly if I set the bitmapdata paramater transparent = true; like so:

var bmatData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,150,true,0xcccccc);

Which results in only seeing the bitmaped text, then the mouse event works
on the text.



Any ideas? See running example here:
