Thanks all. Fabrice and Choons thanks for your time I know its
valuable.
In short Fabrice it is the duplicate issue. In the past I had used an
as3 class from prefab and just made new instances of the class. I
would like to use clone but the awd1 fish.clone() returns an object3d
when I cast that when I add to the clone to the scene it complains of
a null value.
I would like to use clone and clone the AWD1 100 times and give all
the fish a unique location.
I also noticed the md5stress test in the current build and I see them
using Mesh in the clone but if I tried to reconfigure my code to be
somewhat similar although the AWD returns an ObjectContainer3D.
//Current code:
public function tweetank()
{
_view = new View3D();
_view.camera.z = -2000;
addChild(_view);
ResourceManager.instance.addEventListener(ResourceEvent.RESOURCE_RETRIEVED,
onResourceRetrieved);
ResourceManager.instance.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.LOAD_ERROR,
onResourceLoadingError);
ResourceManager.instance.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.LOAD_MAP_ERROR,
onResourceMapsLoadingError);
var url:String = "assets/models/MdlFish.awd";
ResourceManager.instance.getResource(url, false,
AWD1Parser );
}
private function onResourceRetrieved(e : ResourceEvent) : void
{
fish = ObjectContainer3D(e.resource);
_view.scene.addChild(fish);
for(var i:int = 0; i <= 100; i++){
fishArr[i] = Object3D();
fishArr[i] = fish.clone();
fishArr[i].name = 'fish'+i;
fishArr[i].z = randRange(-600,600);
fishArr[i].x = randRange(-600,600);
fishArr[i].y = randRange(-600,600);
_view.scene.addChild(fishArr[i] as ObjectContainer3D);
}
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
handleEnterFrame);
}
private function onResourceLoadingError(e:LoaderEvent) : void
{
trace("Oops, file loading failed");
}
private function onResourceMapsLoadingError(e:LoaderEvent) :
void
{
trace("A map failed to load in this model:
["+e.url+"]");
}
private function handleEnterFrame(e : Event) : void
{
fishArr[i].rotationY += 5;
}
firstFrame = false;
_view.render();
}
private function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
// Generate a number between and including min - max
var randomNum:Number =
Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1))+min;
trace(randomNum);
return randomNum;
}
}
Thanks for your input in advance.
