getChildByName in ObjectContainer3D Software: Away3D 4.x

proyb2, Newbie Posted: 28 October 2011 06:49 AM Total Posts: 17 I found this function is available in Away 3.6 but not implemented Away version 4, is it possible to add getChildByName api into the current release?
Apprentice, Jr. Member Posted: 28 October 2011 11:32 AM Total Posts: 45 [ # 1 ] I suppose you could add something like this in ObjectContainer3D.as: `public function getChildByName(aName : String) : ObjectContainer3D { for each (var tChild : ObjectContainer3D in _children) { if (tChild.name == aName) return tChild; } return null; }` Or if you don’t want to change Away3D code, you could also use this in your own code: `public function getChildByName(aYourObject : ObjectContainer3D, aName : String) : ObjectContainer3D { for (var i : int = 0; i < aYourObject.numChildren; ++i) { if (aYourObject.getChildAt(i).name == aName) return aYourObject.getChildAt(i); } return null; }` —Apprentice

It is not yet decided, but it might be accompanied by a slightly more powerful iterator API (compare to the one in the AssetLibrary), to iterate over all nodes in a branch of the scene graph, search by name, iterate by type et c.
