I'm making a game in Java 3D where I'd like to use multiple behaviors, but I'm having some trouble. This is how it's supposed to work:

The user controls a ball by using the left, right, and up-keys. When the user presses left or right, a custom behavior that controls the View Transformgroup rotates the view in a "third-person view"-fashion. Another custom behavior controls the Transformgroup for the ball (Sphere) when the user hits the up-key. The behavior translates the ball forward according to which axis it's pointed at.

My problem is that I can't seem to get "focus" from both behaviors at the same time. Is there a capability I'm missing?

I'll follow up with the code later if needed.

I'm not sure whether multiple behaviors can have the "focus" since they potentially could listen for the same keys. There might be a way though.

As an alternative you could create a "chain" behavior that actually has the focus and routes the input to the nested behaviors that listen for them.
