Noob problem with clipping

[msmooshoo]

Hey everyone. I'm adding my away3d object to a child container on my
Flex stage, but the view clipping range seems to be set to the
parentApplication stage's width/height coordinates. Can someone please
tell me how to find my object's parent container's rectangle that I
can use for the clipping? I imagine it is something like:
view.clipping.rect(this.parent.x, this.parent.y, this.parent.width,
this.parent.height) - but this doesn't seem to work...

if you wanna to control parent path , it has two way:
first:use static variables
second:control parent and object in parent class.

Thanks zszen.

I can control the parent object, but what is happening, is that the
away3d object is bleeding over the edge of the parent object's
borders. I'm trying to keep the 3d object to from bleeding over the
edge of the parent container.

Hey msmooshoo

to override the automatic clipping that takes it's cue from the stage edges, you need to reset the min and max clipping values:


view.clipping.minX = -view.x;
view.clipping.minY = -view.y;
view.clipping.maxX = this.parent.x + this.parent.width;
view.clipping.maxY = this.parent.y + this.parent.height;


however, for this to work correctly you need to ensure that:

a) your parent sprite has a background that is the desired dimensions of the viewport
b) the view is positioned in the center of the parent sprite (ie. at this.parent.width/2, this.parent.height/2)

hth!
