If you use a MovieClip material, you can make it interactive.
Depending on what you are going for, you might be able to make the material for
the object interactive, so the textfield is within the bounds of the object.
Otherwise you could try to create something where it grabs the mouse position
on click, and creates a new plane that is positioned in the same area. The
plane could use a MovieClip material with a TextField in it, then you'd have to
work out the positioning and sizing of the plane for it to make sense, and hide
and show when appropriate.
Otherwise you might also consider going down this same road, but do the
TextFields in a 2D layer over the top of the 3D scene. When you roll-over an
object, show the correct tooltip, and position it at the (x, y) location of the
mouse on the stage, not in 3D. This might be easier to develop, and depending
on your project, might be easier to use as well.

Hi all,
Is at all possible to place a text box for placing text on a clicked
location on a sphere? So allow the user select the location and enter some
data which will be visible on hover over? Any controls that would be able to
help us achieve that?
Thank you heaps
