add a onLoadedComplete event to the parser
then when its loaded, addChild the handle, the object3d.
function onLoadedComplete(e:Event)
var myObject3DS:Object3D = e.loader.handle
view.scene.addChild(myObject3DS);
Its also a good idea to listen to errors
loader.addOnError(onLoadedError);
as the size/scale of the display, all depends on camera distance/settings/lens
from either your exporter or away.
