The following code is correctly working on the previews firefox version.

function PlaceWheels(){

 	var rotatey180 = 0 + ' ' + 180  + ' ' +  0;

	var loc = vmp.GetProperty('MTSInstance.Wheel_FrontLeft', 'loc_', 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_01', 'loc_',loc, 'mts_pnt3d');
	
	loc = vmp.GetProperty('MTSInstance.Wheel_RearLeft', 'loc_', 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_02', 'loc_',loc, 'mts_pnt3d');

	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_03', 'rot_', rotatey180, 'mts_pnt3d');
	loc = vmp.GetProperty('MTSInstance.Wheel_FrontRight', 'loc_', 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_03', 'loc_',loc, 'mts_pnt3d');

	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_04', 'rot_', rotatey180, 'mts_pnt3d');
	loc = vmp.GetProperty('MTSInstance.Wheel_RearRight', 'loc_', 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_04', 'loc_',loc, 'mts_pnt3d');

	// scale
	var size = Number(tire_s);
	var scale_factor = (size+2)/size;
	scale_factor = scale_factor + ' ' + scale_factor + ' ' + scale_factor;
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.Alloy_01', 'scl_',scale_factor, 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.Alloy_02', 'scl_',scale_factor, 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.Alloy_03', 'scl_',scale_factor, 'mts_pnt3d');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.Alloy_04', 'scl_',scale_factor, 'mts_pnt3d');


	// uncollapse
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_01', 'clps',0, 'mts_int');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_02', 'clps',0, 'mts_int');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_03', 'clps',0, 'mts_int');
	vmp.SetProperty('MTSInstance.wheel_04', 'clps',0, 'mts_int');
	
	vmp.Render();
}

This function simply get/set some viewpoint properties from viewpoint models.

Reproducible: Always




I'm using the default Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 installation.

I found the bug.

when I run the following javascript line:

var loc = vmp.GetProperty('MTSInstance.Wheel_FrontLeft', 'loc_', 'mts_pnt3d');

I receive the following string: "n,nnnn n,nnnnn n,nnnn" where n is a number. The problem is that now the decimal divisor is ',' instead of '.'. If I run the same javascript line on the older firefox or IE it returns me "n.nnnn n.nnnnn n.nnnn"

As I need to do math operations if the numbers, and the decimal divisor is wrong it crashes my application.

It seems that the new firefox plugin communication gets regional setting for decimal divisor.

Please fix this. It crashes all viewpoint javascript programs.
