I'll wait and have a look at it.

What are the ad/disadvantages of AWT events vs behaviors for user
interaction,
especially movement ?

Before writing your own, you might want to take a look at the code in
the j3d.org code repository. This is a re-write of the Halden VR center
code for general use.  Instead of using behaviours it works directly
from AWT events on the Canvas. It also does lots of other nifty things
like transitions between locations etc. It is *much* smoother than the
Java3D based behaviours. Currently it is mouse only, no keyboard, but
the kbd shouldn't take much to hack in. It presents standard VRML style
navigation.

The code can be found at http://www.j3d.org/code.html

*HOWEVER* Do _not_ attempt to download it from CVS. The machine is
currently very screwed. You'll have to wait until the end of the week
once I've rebuilt the machine. If you desparately need the code then
email me privately and I'll zip up my working copy and send it to you.
