Hello there …

I’m working on this piece … I haven’t done the transition to AS3 yet and I decide this will be a good project to start doing it. Anyway so I got this papervision plane that actually is a movieclip in the stage with blend mode of “erase”.  
And I want to interact with this this works sometimes if I created buttons inside the movieclip but when I want to add MovieClips or sprites or both added them dynamically (like the circle) I can’t interact I mean you can but is kind of weird, you gotta really move your mouse around and try to hit the corners or weird angles to make it work …  
How can you add stuff to the plane and interact with them ? there is a better way to do this ?

Also as you can see Im having trouble to keep the btns under my papervision … I’ve tried different thing none of them work so far any ideas ?

here is the FLA and the code … Thanks for any help.
