If ANYONE has a Away3d 4.0 + Flex Mobile + Air 3.2 Barebones Project working on an IPhone,  I would REALLY appreciate you posting it/sending it my way.  I have a working Away3d 4.0 + FLASH Mobile + Air 3.2 Barebones Project, but no Flex project working.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rich,
I’ve just managed to get Away3D running on my iPad with Stage3D/openGL. AIR 3.2, Flash Builder 4.6 - woohoo
I put the project up on github: https://github.com/zerozero/Flash-Builder-4.6—-Away3D—-AIR-3.2—-iOS-Barebones
And I documented my approach here: http://artpluscode.com/blog/?p=128 - hope it’s comprehensible. Hope you can get some use from it.

First of all, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your very thorough explanation.  Your efforts and code are greatly appreciated!!!!  The code works beautifully, in a Flex project on an IOS device.  The only problem I’m still having is getting the cube (or any other mesh I add) to register MouseEvent3D events!!!!  Nothing seems to work (I’ve listed out some of the things I’ve tried here..none seem to work:

File: Canvas3D.as (initScene() function):
.... //None of these event listeners fire…only View3d events.
this.mouseEnabled = true;
  this.mouseChildren=true;
  _view3D.forceMouseMove = true;
  _view3D.mouseEnabled = true;
  _view3D.mouseChildren = true;
  mesh.mouseEnabled = true;
  mesh.mouseChildren = true;
  _view3D.scene.addChild( mesh );
  mesh.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_MOVE,cubeMove);
  mesh.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.CLICK,cubeClick);
  mesh.addEventListener(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_OVER,cubeOver);
  mesh.addEventListener(“mouseDown”,cubeMouseDown);
  mesh.addEventListener(“mouseOver”,cubeMouseOver);

If you have any ideas as to why Away3d 4.0 isn’t working with events, please let me know.  Also, I found very odd behavior when I used my own mesh…no matter how I oriented the camera, the MouseEvent3D events only fired when I clicked in the bottom right of the view…weird!  In this situation it’s like the whole sprite - flex embedding messed up the coordinate system…any thoughts are much appreciated!.....but regardless thanks for posting your solution….very helpful!

Hi Rich,
I’ve been having problems with this too - finally stumbled on this issue on the Away3D github site https://github.com/away3d/away3d-core-fp11/issues/229 . It seems it’s a known bug due to pixel bender not being supported on iOS. Apparently a fix is in the works (03.29.12) and “should be applied to the dev branch shortly”

Hey “artpluscode”,

Is there anyway that you could attribute a friendly license (MIT, Apache, etc.) to your code/project?

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,

I have now released it under the MIT License - see the ReadMe.

Do let me know of any interesting uses you put it to!

Cheers

Jon

Hey Jon,

Thanks a lot for your help and being willing to release it under MIT! 
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

Hey Jon,

One other quick question here, we’ve been trying to get the cam controller working using the pinch gesture with Flex + Away3d 4.0, but to no avail so far.  Have you been able to do so?

Thanks,
Rich
