Re: ShadedMaterials not working with Collada model

Hi Andy thanks for your reply. I've simplified the code and the model,
but still I can't get it to work.

I have two problems:

   1. I can't get ShadedMaterials working with my Collada object.
   2. replaceMaterialByName is also not working with the Collada object.

See here:
http://www.danwashere.com/dev/papervision/shadedtextures_and_collada_problem/ShadingTest.html
Click anywhere to make it swap the materials (it also moves the object
left and right so you know your click has worked) - it fails to swap the
materials.

Here's the cut down code:

package {
   
// imports not included
   
    public class PV3DTest extends MovieClip {
       
        private var mc:MovieClip;
       
        private var basicView:BasicView;
       
        private var light:PointLight3D;
       
        private var testColladaObject:Collada;
        private var showingShadedMaterial:Boolean;
       
        private var flatShadeMaterial:FlatShadeMaterial;
        private var movieMaterial:MovieMaterial;
        private var shadedMaterial:ShadedMaterial;
       
        public function PV3DTest($mc:MovieClip) {
           
            mc = $mc;
           
            // Set up of BasicView and Light not included
           
            // Note: Texture_extra_1 is a library clip.
            movieMaterial = new MovieMaterial(new Texture_extra_1(),
false, true, false);

            shadedMaterial = new ShadedMaterial(movieMaterial, new
FlatShader(light, 0xFFFFFF, 0x555555));
           
            flatShadeMaterial = new FlatShadeMaterial(light, 0x8888ff,
0x111133);
           
            var mat:MaterialsList = new MaterialsList();
            // Initially use the flatShadeMaterial, which works ok.
            mat.addMaterial(flatShadeMaterial,    "material0");
            testColladaObject = new Collada("Simple.dae", mat, 0.00005);
            basicView.scene.addChild(testColladaObject);
            testColladaObject.x = -100;
           
            showingShadedMaterial = false;
           
            mc.stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, handleEnterFrame);
            mc.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleMouseClick);
        }
       
        private function handleMouseClick($e:MouseEvent):void {
            // Toggle the material on mouse click.
            if (showingShadedMaterial) {
                // replaceMaterialByName seems to do nothing
               
testColladaObject.replaceMaterialByName(flatShadeMaterial, "material0");
                testColladaObject.x = -100;
                showingShadedMaterial = false;
            } else {
                // I also tested this by swapping one flatShadeMaterial for
                // another of a diff colour, that didn't work either.
                testColladaObject.replaceMaterialByName(shadedMaterial,
"material0");
                testColladaObject.x = 100;
                showingShadedMaterial = true;
            }
        }

        private function handleEnterFrame($e:Event):void {          
            // Spin the object by mouse position
           
            basicView.singleRender();          
        }      
    }  
}

Are these known bugs in revision 918 maybe? I'm not sure where to look
to find that out.

Or is it a problem in my Collada DAE file perhaps?
