About the Example
In this example I used the FreeSpin3D Action Script API to duplicate a 3D model instance that is on the stage. When duplicating, a new instance of the 3D model is created with the same properties and settings as the duplicated 3D model instance.
The FLA
In the FLA I imported a 3D model of a donut using the FreeSpin3D Import Engine. I created a background and dragged the FreeSpin3D component to the stage, then assigned it the donut 3D model. I gave the donut the instance name my3DModel_fs so I can relate to it in the Action Script API. I turned the keyboard control to true (in the FreeSpin3D Control panel).
I added a button on the stage, so when clicked, it will duplicate the donut and create a new instance of it. For the duplicated instance of the donut I add an Auto Rotation when created (using the FreeSpin3D Action Script API).
The Adobe Flash CS4 Actions Layer (If using Adobe Flash CS3, see code in box below)
import FreeSpin3D.CRvFreeSpin3D;
import FreeSpin3D.IRvFreeSpin3D;
// Add a Mouse Click event listener to the Clone button
btnDuplicate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OnBtnClick);
function OnBtnClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
// clone the original donut 3D model instance
var duplicatedModel:CRvFreeSpin3D = my3DModel_fs.RviClone() as CRvFreeSpin3D;
// add the cloned donut to the stage
addChild(duplicatedModel);
// set the position of the cloned donut to the left of the original one
duplicatedModel.x = my3DModel_fs.x + my3DModel_fs.width - 25;
duplicatedModel.y = my3DModel_fs.y;
// set auto rotation to the cloned donut
duplicatedModel.RviAutoX = 1;
duplicatedModel.RviAutoY = 1;
duplicatedModel.RviAutoRender = true;
// disable the Clone button
btnDuplicate.enabled = false;
btnDuplicate.visible = false;
btbg.visible = false;
}
The Adobe Flash CS3 Actions Layer
mport FreeSpin3D.CRvFreeSpin3D;
// Add a mouse listener to the button used to dupliace the donut
btnDuplicate.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OnBtnClick);
function OnBtnClick(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
// Duplicate the donut 3D model instance and create a new one
var duplicatedModel:CRvFreeSpin3D = my3DModel_fs.RviDuplicate() as CRvFreeSpin3D;
// Add the duplicated donut instance to the stage
addChild(duplicatedModel);
// Position the new donut to the left of the original one
duplicatedModel.x = my3DModel_fs.x + my3DModel_fs.width - 25;
duplicatedModel.y = my3DModel_fs.y;
// Add auto rotation to the new donut instance
duplicatedModel.RviAutoX = 1;
duplicatedModel.RviAutoY = 1;
duplicatedModel.RviSetRenderingLoop(true);
// Disable the button
btnDuplicate.enabled = false;
btnDuplicate.visible = false;
btbg.visible = false;
}
