I'm not sure
but I had a thought that this might be
an issue of "scope"...
at what level in the VRML code
have you placed the proximity sensors?
are you loading the same WRL single-user [where it works]
as you are multi-user [where it doesn't work]??
you might try the following experiments:
1) connect directly to the WRL-scene used by VNet
but in single-user mode
for example:
http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/vnet/EAISimple.wrl
is the Town Square scene at ariadne
which is loaded when you "hit" the VNet URL there
[loaded by the HTML into the top of the window
while the applet is loaded into the bottom of the window]
see if the problems continue
2) put the proximity sensors at the "top level"
of the VRML scene which is loaded
[above the "ROOTNODE" in that WRL]
just some quick
haven't-had-coffe-yet
Sunday morning ideas ;^}
