mixing flex 4 gui components with papervision3d

Question

I'd like to mix papervision rendering (either "fullscreen" or constrained in some area) with flex gui components laying over that rendering.. how could this be achieved?

For now I can design .mxml templates at hand and do some papervision rendering in a separate .as file (definig [SWF ...]), but I'm still very new at as3/flex, so don't assume anything, a detailed explanation will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance =)!

Answer 1

What you render with papervision3d ends up in a View(basic,bitmap, etc.), which extends Sprite, so it's a DisplayObject.

If you want to add a component over the rendering, just add that component as a sibling of the View in the display list.
