Re: [away3d] Re: CRITICAL: Embedded ObjectContainer3D doesn't move with its parent?

Hi Rob,

I do actually see some improvement:
Previously, I "spun the world" by changing the rotation value of my scene, to rotate everything in place. I know that moving the camera instead of the world is more ordinary, but it was quick and worked well with my predefined camera angles. When Away3D 3.5 came out, this no longer worked. I just tried it again, and it works again.
The only problem now is that I switched to using Drag3D instead of my own dragging class, so no dragging doesn't work correctly if I spin the world. I suppose I need to find a nice way of spinning the camera around an axis rather than spinning the world :)

Hey Joshua
some of the internal listeners for re-parenting were updated in the latest 
trunk version of the fp10 engine 3.5.2
would it be possible for you to check this problem against the latest trunk 
code, and see if you are still experiencing the issue?

cheers

Rob

I can try.

Here's some more information about it:


SETUP:
I use the Collada loader to create two objects. Each is named then placed 
inside of a new ObjectContainer3D.



THIS WORKS:
I remove one of the objects from it's ObjectContainer3D parent, and add it 
inside the other object



THIS DOESNT WORK:
I remove one of the objects from it's ObjectContainer3D parent, and add it 
to the other object's parent ObjectContainer3D





Now that I think of it, I think both objects are given the same name. It
could be that there are problems with having two objects with the same name 
in the same ObjectContainer3D, or it could be how many levels deep the
objects were. For example, I noticed that properties like minX and maxX work 
correctly when checking a mesh, but as its embedded within multiple
ObjectContainer3D instances, these get inaccurate. Not sure if this is
similar?

 Hey Joshua
this is odd behavior indeed. The original version you describe is correct 
for Away3D, but i am at a loss to explain why this no longer works for
you.
Would you be able to isolate the problem in a simple test class?

 Hm you sure that object3d's don't move with the container? I remember

testing the container with a offset cube and rotating the the
container rotated the cube about the container's origin. I didn't try
moving the container though.
