Now I'm trying the Ray class.
I created a Ray, added the camera position as the origin, and this as
my scene mouse down handler:
public function sceneMouseDown(e:MouseEvent3D):void {
rayDir.x = e.sceneX - ray.orig.x;
rayDir.y = e.sceneY - ray.orig.y;
rayDir.z = e.sceneZ - ray.orig.z;
ray.dir = rayDir;
var intersect:Boolean =
ray.intersectBoundingRadius(myTestObject.position,
myTestObject.boundingRadius);
trace("intersect="+ intersect);
}
ray.intersectBoundingRadius always returns true no matter where I
click. Can someone tell me how to make this work correctly?
