[x3d-public] good example for ECMAScripting and Protos?

[John Carlson]

I have a problem with this file in X3DOM, because as far as I can tell, the SFNode fields (the node, not the field) do not have getFieldValue for point etc. as a function, for example (but one can double check me).  In other words, I don’t think this node is an X3DOM node.

Thus I cannot take a reasonable length in the script.  One would have to parse the string.

That’s as clear as I can get.  I think this might be because x3dom does not process scripts correctly. We would need a script tag handler, and a field handler inside that.

Can you help Andreas?  I’ve created a script tag before, but that code is lost. It might be in my GitHub repository somewhere, not sure.

We just need a script tag that has fields, but doesn’t execute its CDATA section.  I am pretty sure

How is V4.0 handling this?

Alternatively, I can change my nodeUtil code to look at the type and do the right thing converting a string to the correct type.   Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the great example, Vince,

Should I adapt my code to deal with this failing in X3DOM, or should we change X3DOM?

See 
http://www.kshell.com/pages/pointcloudvisualization/SphereDirectedPointSet.x3d

It is a X3D file with with a Prototype + ecmascript definition of a point cloud, with a vector attached to each point of the cloud.
Example used is just points randomly distributed on sphere with directs pointed radially outward.

Potential uses would be to implement the scanning design pattern at http://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForAdvancedModeling/Scanning/X3dMeshDesignPatternIndex.html , or
visualizing fluid flow or  electromagnetic field

Is there a good example of ECMAScripting in X3D that I can use to test my X3D JSON ECMAScript preprocessor?  Preferably with Protos 
 
 
Thanks!
