How to simulate a MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_DOWN event Software: Away3D 4.x

beers, Member Posted: 24 February 2013 05:01 AM Total Posts: 53 I need to do a mouse-pick without clicking a mouse button. I need the MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_DOWN event to fire when i press a key instead (so the picking would occur at the stage.mousex,stage.mousey). So im thinking there has to be a way to ‘trigger’ a mouse3D mousedown event without actually having to press the mouse button? The only workaround I can figure is if i have a mouseOver3D event handler but id like to avoid that since i believe its way slower. If anyone has any ideas I’d be very greatful!

The solution is to use a RaycastPicker object. away3d/core/pick/RaycastPicker.as ie: RaycastPicker.getViewCollision(x, y, view) will return a collision object (if there were any collisions) Picking objects in the scene require MouseEnabled=true. beers
