Hello Away3D community,

I’m currently using the book: The Essential Guide to 3D in Flash and I’m stuck at chapter 4.

The problem is I have converted a 3ds model to as3. But I need to import it into the class. I’m using the script provided with the book. But I’m getting an error. It doesn’t seem to recognise _view

Here is the script I’m using:

package 
{
 import away3d.core.base.*;
 import away3d.lights.*;
 import away3d.materials.*;


 import flash.display.*;
 import flash.events.*;
 import flash.net.*;
 import flash.utils.*;
 
 import models.common.PlanetWinter;
 
 public class pictor extends MovieClip
 {

  public function pictor()
  {
   super();
  }
  
  protected function _createScene()
  {
   var material:ShadingColorMaterial = new ShadingColorMaterial(0x888888);
   var planetWinter:PlanetWinter = new PlanetWinter();
   planetWinter.material = material;
   planetWinter.x = (Math.random()-0.5) * 512
   planetWinter.y = (Math.random()-0.5) * 512
   planetWinter.z = (Math.random()-0.5) * 512
   
   _view.scene.addChild(planetWinter);
   
   var light:PointLight3D = new PointLight3D();
   light.x = 500;
   light.y = 500;
   light.z = 0;
   _view.scene.addLight(light);
  }
  
 }

} 

When I run this code I’m getting the following error:

1120: Access of undefined propery _view.

As the error says it seems that he does not recognise _view which I think is weird because I worked before with other scripts from the book.

And there is nothing about it in the Errata

Does anyone can help me with this?

Have you really found this code in the book? Most examples in the book extend a per-chapter base class, but you are extending MovieClip. The code that you are using does not have a _view variable declaration anywhere, which is why it can’t find it. It makes complete sense. The examples in the book work because the _view variable is declared either in the base class or in the example class itself.

I forgot to extend it as a sample base.

Thanks Richard. I totally forgot about it. I thought Away 3d recognised everything.

Another question. I’ve copied some stuff that I needed from the base class. This is what I have

package 
{
 import away3d.core.base.*;
 import away3d.lights.*;
 import away3d.materials.*;
 import away3d.cameras.*;
 import away3d.containers.*;


 import flash.display.*;
 import flash.events.*;
 import flash.net.*;
 import flash.utils.*;

 import models.common.PlanetWinter;

 public class pictor extends MovieClip
 {
  protected var _camera:HoverCamera3D;
  protected var _view:View3D;

  public function pictor()
  {
   trace("test0");
   super();

   _createScene();
   _createView();
   trace("test1");
  }


  protected function _createView():void
  {

   _camera = new HoverCamera3D();
   _camera.distance = 1000;
   _camera.tiltAngle = 10;
   _camera.panAngle = 180;

   _view = new View3D();
   _view.x = 400;
   _view.y = 300;
   _view.camera = _camera;
   addChild(_view);
   addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, _onEnterFrame);
  }
  
  protected function _createScene():void
  {
   var material:ShadingColorMaterial = new ShadingColorMaterial(0x888888);
   var planetWinter:PlanetWinter = new PlanetWinter();
   planetWinter.material = material;
   planetWinter.x = (Math.random()-0.5) * 512;
   planetWinter.y = (Math.random()-0.5) * 512;
   planetWinter.z = (Math.random()-0.5) * 512
   ;
   _view.scene.addChild(planetWinter);
   trace("test2");

   var light:PointLight3D = new PointLight3D();
   light.x = 500;
   light.y = 500;
   light.z = 0;
   _view.scene.addLight(light);
   trace("test3");

  }

  protected function _onEnterFrame(ev : Event):void
  {
   _camera.panAngle += (stage.mouseX - stage.stageWidth/2) / 100;
   _camera.hover();

   _view.render();
  }

 }

} 

But now I get a #1009 error. He does not recognise the function _createScene() (line 27)
