[away3d] PathAnimator: Object follows path for only one PathCommand, than goes back to start.

[Moritz]

Hello alltogether,

I've got a problem with the PathAnimator. My Path is composed of 30
PathCommands, but the animated object only follows the first one and
then teleports back to the starting point.

The path looks  fairly valid to me, I even visualized it using
LineSegments and the lines added up to a nice, gapless trail.
Unfortunatly I cannot really post the exact code I use for generating
the path since it is quite complicated and depends on a lot of other
factors, but here is what I get when I trace the path.array (with
little " | "s between each PathCommand):

PathCommand: C, Vector3D(0, 0, 0), Vector3D(17.45348763652146,
31.202836117888964, 300), Vector3D(17.45348763652146,
31.202836117888964, 600) | PathCommand: C, Vector3D(17.45348763652146,
31.202836117888964, 600), Vector3D(75.45044119326013, 88.846957808724,
900), Vector3D(75.45044119326013, 88.846957808724, 1200) |
PathCommand: C, Vector3D(75.45044119326013, 88.846957808724, 1200),
Vector3D(134.2064586494376, 151.6906980439886, 1500),
Vector3D(134.2064586494376, 151.6906980439886, 1800) | PathCommand: C,
Vector3D(134.2064586494376, 151.6906980439886, 1800),
Vector3D(336.9723958312828, 233.33278905486756, 2100),
Vector3D(336.9723958312828, 233.33278905486756, 2400) … .

If the problem is not the path, then it must be somewhere in the
following code:

public class Eagle extends Entity
        {
                [Embed(source = "/../grafikMaterial/Modelle/adler_animiert.md2",
mimeType = "application/octet-stream")]
                private var eagleModel:Class;
                [Embed(source = "/../grafikMaterial/Modelle/adler_diffuse.jpg")]
                private var eagleDiffuse:Class;
                private var eagleMesh:Mesh;
                private var animationData:AnimationData;
                private var pathAnimator:PathAnimator;
                private var time:Number = 0;

                public function Eagle()
                {
                        super();
                        var eagleMaterial:BitmapMaterial = new
BitmapMaterial(Cast.bitmap(eagleDiffuse));
                        eagleMesh = Md2.parse(Cast.bytearray(eagleModel));
                        eagleMesh.material = eagleMaterial;
                        eagleMesh.centerPivot();
                        eagleMesh.x = eagleMesh.y = eagleMesh.z = 0;
                        eagleMesh.scale(0.4);
                        eagleMesh.rotationY = 180;
                        this.addChild(eagleMesh);
                        this.animationData =
eagleMesh.animationLibrary.getAnimation("fly");
                }

                //[…]

                public function followPath(path:Array)  //Called by the Document
Class after some Event
                {
                        if (this.pathAnimator == null)
                        {
                                this.pathAnimator = new PathAnimator(path, this,
{ alignToPath:true } );
                                trace("eagle's Path = " + path.array[0] + " | " 
+path.array[1] + "
| " + path.array[2] + " | " +path.array[3]);

                                this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, 
enterFrameHandler);
                        }
                }

                private function enterFrameHandler(evt:Event)
                {
                        this.time = (this.time + 0.005 > 1)? 0 : this.time + 
0.005;
                        this.pathAnimator.update(this.time);
                }
        }


Please help, I really feel stuck on this one :( .
