[away3d] Problem when Importing 3ds and obj meshes. Do not behave in the same way (Away3D)

[Sylvain Godbert]

Hi All,

I have successfully imported a 3ds max model in the following way :

max3ds = new Max3DS();
loader = new LoaderCube();
loader.addOnSuccess(onSuccess);
loader.loadGeometry("assets/etoile_3ds/etoile.3ds", max3ds);
scene.addChild(loader);

The callback for "onSuccess" is :

private function onSuccess(event:Event):void
{
        model = loader.handle as ObjectContainer3D;
        model.scale(5);
}

This works perfectly.


Now, I am doing the very same thing, but I am loading the object as
*.obj :

obj = new Obj();
loader = new LoaderCube();
loader.addOnSuccess(onSuccess);
loader.loadGeometry("assets/etoile_obj_prefab/myModel/myModel.obj",
obj);
scene.addChild(loader);

private function onSuccess(event:Event):void
{
        model = loader.handle as ObjectContainer3D;
        model.scale(5);
}

The problem is that "loader.handle as ObjectContainer3D" returns
"null" and therefore makes the flash crash. Although, the model is
successfully displayed in the scene (the geometry and the texture).
This leads me to think that the loading does work fine, but for some
reasons, "onSuccess" is called before the mesh is properly loaded.

Am I loading my obj in the wrong way ? Is there something specific to
do when loading an *.obj file ?

Note : I am using Away3D  from google.code (I downloaded a version 2
days ago)

Cheers
