Hi,
I need to listen for clicks on a mesh formed by more elements: I need to know the index of the clicked subobject.

In another project I have used the approach of adding a listener to each subobject, but in this new project I have a lot more subobjects: I’d prefer to use a single MouseEvent listener for the main mesh containing the subobjects, and act when I know the index of the clicked one.

I have tried to put the listener, but the target/currentTarget I receive in the event output is the whole mesh.

Thanks

When loading your model, listen to LoaderEvent.MESH_COMPLETE, then for each mesh sub object of your model set mesh.mouseEnabled = true

Then set a listener to MouseEvent, and in the handler you should access the targeted sub object with Mesh(event.target).

I am instantiating an AS3 model (MainModel, a mesh exported as AS3 Class with Prefab3D).

I have set all mouseEnabled

traces

as before, as if I was clicking on the main mesh, and not the subobject.
What am I doing wrong?

P.S.: with e.target the result is the same.

You should try trace(e.object) instead of trace(e.currentTarget);

Great! Now it works!
Woah! And mouseEnabled is not necessary anymore!
Thank you.
But, why “object” instead of “target”?
