private function onComplete(e:LoaderEvent):void{
for(var i:uint = 0; i<100; i++){
var
ObjContainer:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
ObjContainer =
ObjectContainer3D(AssetLibrary.getAsset('main'));
fishArr[i] =
new ObjectContainer3D();
for(var j:uint
= 0; j<ObjContainer.numChildren; j++)
{
var
obj3D:Object3D = new Object3D();
obj3D =
ObjContainer.getChildAt(j).clone();
////////////////
/// The object above returns the cloned object3d and I can see it in
the debugger but when I go to cast it as ObjectContainer3D it is then
null.
/////////////
fishArr[i].addChild(obj3D as ObjectContainer3D);
}
fishArr[i] .x =
randRange(0,600);
fishArr[i] .y =
randRange(0,600);
fishArr[i] .z =
randRange(0,600);
_view.scene.addChild(fishArr[i]);
}
Is this a bug? I should be able to cast an Object3D as an
ObjectContainer3D and then add it as a child. Please let me know if
this is a bug or I am simply doing this incorrectly thanks in advance.
