No problem and again, thanks for the prompt reply.

Thanks for the prompt reply Egon.

You are correct. It's because I didn't call buildAllObjects for the world. It seems to work fine now. Just for closure though, you may get the asset file via this link http://hafiz.no-ip.info/data.zip. I would appreciate to know though is this a bug or purely due to my mistake.

Again, thanks for the prompt reply.

As it is, the code runs fine. The problem occurs however when I'm trying NOT to add the object 'obj'. The declaration is on line 44. When I remark line 68 and 69 where line 68 to add 'obj' into the world. The exception occured. This exception however does not occur if i also remark line 86 where a vertex contoller is applied to another Object3D called 'mLevel'. I would appreciate any assistance. The obj primitive was there at the beginning when I was starting to learn. Now I'm trying to get rid of it. I do need the vertex controller though to  help 'correct' my 3ds object that was exported from 3ds max. If anyone out there know how to resolve the exception and explain why it occured, it will really help my situation.

Thanks in advance
