Couple of questions it looks like after the object has been added to
the scene the ObjectContainer3D has a protected item
fish.implicitPartition._updatedEntityList.mesh this item contains the
mesh although it is protected.
When I clone the fish it will return an Object3D and that can be cast
to an ObjectContainer3D but when I add it to the scene it complains
because it is null? I do see that most of the parsers parse out the
data and then place the item in an ObjectContainer3D the exception to
this case so far being the md5mesh that will return a mesh.
1.What is the easiest way to clone the ObjectContainer3D?
2. Is their an easy way to retrieve a Mesh from an ObjectContainer3D?
I have been looking at the different methods and any input on this
would be greatly appreciated.
fishArr[i] = ObjectContainer3D();
for(var j:uint = 0; j<fish.numChildren; j++)
{
fishArr[i].addChild(fish.getChildAt(j).clone() as
ObjectContainer3D);
}
