Away3D Forum MouseEvent3D not fired from clicking on a ObjectContainer3D or a Plane

I am extending a ObjectContainer3D. Into that, I create a plane. That is all fine. Then I add event listeners onto an instance of that class, but they are never fired. Anything I should check for or know about?

CoverFlowItem class:

public class CoverFlowItem extends ObjectContainer3D implements IView
{
...
} 

In the parent class that contains instances of CoverFlowItem:

public function addItem(vo:CoverFlowThumbVO, update:Boolean = false):void
{
 var item:CoverFlowItem = new CoverFlowItem();
 item.setScale(_scale);
 item.id = vo.id;
 item.bitmapData = vo.bitmapData;
 item.init();
 item.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_OVER, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 item.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 item.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_UP, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 item.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_OUT, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 item.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.CLICK, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 
 _items.push(item);
 addChild(item);
 
 _numItems = _items.length;
 item.positionIndex = _numItems - 1;
 
 if(update) updateItemsProperties(0);
}

private function mouseEvent3DHandler(event:MouseEvent3D):void
{
 trace("n", this, "---  mouseEvent3DHandler  ---");
 trace("t", "event: " + (event));
 
}

I had this problem too and my solution was to set listeners on the child object (a plane in your case) that would call a method in the subclass.

It seems ObjectContainer3D just isn’t mouse-enabled, which needs to get fixed.

Thanks for your suggestion, however I had tried that as well, to no avail:

CoverFlowItem class:

public function init():void
{
 var material:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial ( _bitmapData,
               true, // smooth
               false, // repeat
               false // mipmap
              );
 material.bothSides = true;
 
 var plane:Plane = new Plane( material,
         PLANE_WIDTH * _scale,
         PLANE_HEIGHT * _scale
        );
 plane.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_OVER, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 plane.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_OUT, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 plane.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.CLICK, mouseEvent3DHandler);
 
 addChild(plane);
}

private function mouseEvent3DHandler(event:MouseEvent3D):void
{
 trace("\n", this, "---  mouseEvent3DHandler  ---");
 trace("\t", "event: " + (event));
}

Looks like you might have forgotten to add “plane.mouseEnabled = true” in init(), before adding the listeners.

I just tested that, I was about to write exactly that here. It’s confusing, since it’s set to true by default in AS3 usual display objects. Thanks for the help!
