Description
The SceneObject class lets you manipulate the fundamental building blocks of the 3D world - scene objects. These are the equivalent of movie clips in the 2D Flash world. Each scene object occupies a position in 3D space. Like movie clips, scene objects can be joined together in a hierarchy so that when one moves, all its children move with it.
A scene object can be associated with an instance of the Model class, through the SceneObject.model property. If this property is set then the model will be displayed at the position of the scene object. Scene objects which do not have an associated model are said to be empty.

Constructor for the SceneObject class Usage new SceneObject(); Returns A reference to a SceneObject object Description Scene objects differ from movie clips in that they are created like any other ActionScript object, using the new operator. However, a scene object created this way will not appear on the stage until it has been attached to a movie clip, or a previously attached scene object. Example The following creates a scene object and stores it in a variable called treasure: var treasure = new SceneObject(); |
