Papervision 2.0 InteractiveScene3DEvent Gotcha

So has anyone spent any real time frustrated as to why something simple like :

item.addEventListener(InteractiveScene3DEvent.OBJECT_PRESS, planeClicked);

public function planeClicked(ev:InteractiveScene3DEvent) {
trace("planeClicked");
}

isn't working??

Well I have just finished spending time(1.5+ hours) on something such as this, so you may be in luck having now found this, if you happen to be in a similar situation.

yes, yes you have already tried to make the Material's interactive property true,
or the plane's interactive to true, etc,
whatever.

What i forgot about was the viewport. DOH!

viewport.interactive = true;

fixed.
I love this stuff..

i'll vote for "that one"

Wow.
I swear I can SEE his 72 year old synapses firing like they are that old.
Standing next to the next president, he's exactly what he appears to be:
An old man, with old views and deep seeded anger, the maverick who can't debate to save his life, nor understand and relate to the generation that's going to push his decrepit ass out of this race on November 4th.
How frustrated it makes me to listen to him utter over and over " Obama wants to attack Pakistan". Yet the way Barack handled it, as he has again and again, was superb, cool and collected.
Barack moves me in way I have never felt before. He has, and I want to shout it, moved me to tears on several occasions.

I love this race. I love Barack Obama.

Make sure all who feel the same actually go out and vote,....
McCrazy is not the future. And now he's scared, and he should be.

All hail!, Barack the VOTE.

flashforward and arrowLove

Whenever I doodle I draw arrows. Usually the same type, an ever-branching system of four-stroke arrows that continue to spiral out. I’ve never really thought much about it, just seeing it as an ever-present need for direction and expansion.

Years ago, when I started seeing the arrows for flashForward I was instantly intrigued, thinking it was my dream environ for TWO of my great passions—Flash and arrows.

The first day of this event has been nothing short of inspirational. From magnificent, awe-inspiring Hodgin visualizations to Miha Pogacnik's metaphorical Bach brilliance and chaos perspectives in the lifespan of a creative mind.

Reminded of the passion in me, I was beginning to forget about.

Reminded of why I love what I do and how cool Flash was, is and will continue to be.

Inspired to a "future that is present" as Craig Swann so succinctly described—all the decisions for our future are decided as soon as we make them, start now and marry what you eventually want with what you do right now.


So far it's great. I feel this is exactly what I was looking for.

Stone Balance at Gem Show

I had the pleasure of being invited to balance stones at a Gem/Fossil Show last weekend. My father snapped a handful of pics that can be seen here, please check them out if you have a chance...

I'm progressively getting more and more addicted to this pastime, and it's excitement is growing. I was amazed at the response I received and the crowds I drew just balancing stones...

I will have more pics to post soon.

i am god

After a wonderfully entertaining conversation last night about two catholic's view of "god" and my view, I've decided to continue the conversation here. At least I can't be bludgeoned by two godHeads "blinded by faith" telling me I haven't "lived" enough to understand. I might be, but at least I'll be able to finish a sentence :}

I post now in response, probably the first of many, to being ruthlessly double-teamed in matters of my faith, or in their eyes, my lack thereof.

The hypocrisy, oh the humanity....

Any direct question I provided for discussion was so easily dismissed as "childish" or regarded simply as, so absurd, with a wave of the hand and some exhalation of air, it was recockulous.

Honestly, I'm 31.
Was born and raised Roman Catholic, son of a Sicilian, which has quite effectively led me down a path of diverse religious inquisition. I like to think I make educated decisions and am an astute observer. I am very passionate about debate, and this is the mother of them all.

Let it be known up front, I think the notion of organized religion, even based on fairy tales, to be a wonderfully enriching and enlightening part of a lot of people's lives. The idea of anything keeping people happy and determined is a great thing; I'll just ask for some further clarification, that's what this is.

Some questions, I will continue to post regularly to start the conversation I love so much... Hope this format allows for no one speaking over one another....and We certainly won't be cut off mid sentence. Please feel free to comment, yet at the very least I'll finally be able to shout my "evil truth".....

i am my god.
the rest have just fear and lack personal strength.
