Ok i thought of a way - If you send me all the files I can do it for you but it will be a simple hack...not very hard.
This is the idea
Make a node
Always look at node with camera.
Always make your object (DAE?) look at node also.
Now , when you move your camera around - it will rotate the node.
Since object is always looking at node it will rotate too (but so will camera on an axis so might have to lock it afterwards)
So finally just use MYDAE.moveBackward to move it away from the node (depending on rotation- already done lol)
So it is very easy and could work and could try to get it to wrk for you if you want-but would rather get it to work for you than start from scratch file....so you can still send file and I will try - maybe tommorow...but I am done thinking! :)
Sorry but today will be very busy with my son (his last day of school-half day) and have tonight booked for some other projects (away3d)...
