So moving it out of the div made it work – the 3D works and you can interact with it as long as you don’t click in the part that is still a Hype div (the 600×400 part in the upper left corner). It’s at the same link as above.

So I could make a gui that is fixed along one edge and that might work. But the ultimate goal is a full screen overlay gui like in the Teapot Heater example, using all the animation and features of Hype. But currently it wouldn’t pass mouse actions through so I’m trying to see if Tumult Hype can answer this.

I always seem to be working very hard to find an easy solution, probably harder than simply hand coding would be. Ah well, perhaps others can benefit. from my frustrations.

Well, now I’m getting a 404 file not found inside the iframe. It is very vexing. I’m attaching the zip file

I’m seeing a similar problem in Edge. I did implement your fix for Internet Explorer, unless they made more changes to some remote library to undo that.

I’ve downloaded 2.5, which is a very nice set of additions, thank you!

But, I still can’t get a local coordinate going with, for instance, a camera. If I rotate an empty with the camera parented to it, I can make it rotate left and right fine, but up and down is obviously using global coordinates, not local. Unless I start out pointing exactly along the Y axis, rotating along the X axis makes it corkscrew. I tried setting the coordinates in Blender to local but that has no effect.

Am I missing something? I’m usually missing something obvious. I’ve thought of a very clumsy ways around it, by rotating everything but the camera. Or setting a bunch of nesting empties with rotation animations and playing the animations. But I was hoping for something more elegant.

No, it started as a way to move the camera with icons, and became generalized. I might try to modify the WASD controller from the examples (minus the jump-space), but that involves coding, which by this point I’m sure you know I’m terrible with coding. I’m not even sure how I could use code from the examples in a new project.

But in any case, I could have it licked if I knew how to translate the global set position values to local for the object.

I’m thinking of making everything else pivot and move, and leaving the object and the parented camera stationary. But I have some objects with reflections from the world texture, and I’m not sure what that will do to it.

Thanks!
Next big question: Is there a way to use an objects local coordinates instead of global for such a transform? So if a car turns to the right, and I want it to go forward, not to the side, how do I do that?
