Nope not working either. I have tried to do this:
// called by flex DragDropManager when mouse moves over UIComponent
private function _onDragOver(e:DragEvent):void {
// calls findHit() internally
view3D.fireMouseEvent(MouseEvent3D.MOUSE_MOVE, view3D.mouseX,
view3D.mouseY);
}
The problem is that while dragging away3D seems to loose track of the
current mouse position which gives unreliable results (I double
checked that _onDragOver() was called correctly).
So I guess the only solution is going to be to cast a ray and get the
intersection point with my mesh at drop time.
Thanks savagelook for your help.
