Hey you have to set the capability of the BranchGroup and the TransformGroup.
To have access to all the TransformGroup you have to write: TransformGroup TG = new TransformGroup(); TG.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_READ); TG.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITTE); and for the BranchGroup: BranchGroup BG = new BranchGroup(); BG.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_READ); BG.setCapability(BranchGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE); This should give you access to the TG and BG at runtime. Check thoses link for more info on Capability settings. 1-http://java.sun.com/products/java- media/3D/forDevelopers/J3D_1_3_API/j3dapi/index.html 2-http://java.sun.com/products/java- media/3D/forDevelopers/J3D_1_3_API/j3dapi/javax/media/j3d/TransformGroup.html Serge Bernier Selon dafna gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi All, > > i have a scene which contains many spheres. every Sphere is a child of a > TransformGroup, and everyTransformGroup is a child of a BranchGroup which is > then compiled and added to the simpleUniverse. > i save my spheres in hashTable which i then use in another method. > in the other method i get the spheres from the hashTable. for every Sphere > that i get, i want to get also the parent TransformGroup. i tired using the > getParent method but i get an exception which says that it can't be done on a > live or compiled object. so, i tried to apply detach on the parent > BranchGroup and then call the getParent, but it didn't work also. > how can i get the TransformGroup of each Sphere? is there some other method > that can retrieve the TransformGroup / parent? > > thanks > Dafna > > =========================================================================== > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body > of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
