Great work, but how to access stage, viewport and camera from within do3d?
Do I need to do everything inside BasicView/IView?

My problem is: I created do3d named Book. Inside Book, there are several BookPages (also do3d), and inside BookPages i got another do3d, and inside this do3d i want to do some dragging actions. Now I need to transmit variables (stage, viewport and camera) via each do3d constructor, but i think, that this method sucks. Other way is to use Singleton as Variable Locators, but this also doesn’t sound good.
So, how to this?

PS. Sorry for my bad english.
