Hi there, trying to add a number of children to an ObjectContainer3D and name them at the same time, so I can reference them easily later on.

In papervision I could just do:

which would add the object ‘p’ to ‘shelfset’ and call it ‘objName’

However in Away3d (I’m using broomstick), it seems that addChild only accepts one argument, so I’m wondering how I can do this?

If I do a count of children,  could I reference that child number?

I think so, you can use shelfSet.numChildren, and shelfSet.getChildAt(#)

I’ll give it a go…

Or you can just set the name separately:

p.name = objName;

But it’s always better to store a proper reference to the 3D object (i.e. keep the “p” variable around), which will always be faster than look-up by name or index.

Sooo… once you’ve named an object, can you do GetChildByName, or similar?
