I have merged the tutorials for “Picking an object” and the “jme canvas in an swing gui” and want now to optimize the mouse control.
My problem is, that the mouse in the jme canvas is only activated when the left mousebutton is dragged, what is firstly seen ok, cause of the swing gui. But on the second view the point is, that elements of the jme canvas should be accessible just by an simple leftmouseclick.
Is the line “flyCam.setDragToRotate(true)” absolutely necessary ?
How can i make an better mouse control for this program ?
