Java3d vrml files and TimeSensors

Hello.

I'm trying to load a vrml file to use with java3d.

I'm using the org.jdesktop.j3d.loaders.vrml97.VrmlLoader;

Now when i load the vrml and put it into the universe i see the object but it is not animated.

The timesensor is set to start immeditely and works fine in another viewer.

so i guess the file is ok.

I have put the TimeSensor node in such way that it is the first node in the file so

if i call

VrmlScene vs = (VrmlScene)scene;

BaseNode[] bnodes = vs.getObjects();

System.out.println(bnodes[0].getType());

i get TimeSensor as the output.

but even if i get a reference to this object i can't start the animation since it isn't a time sensor object.

Now the questions are:

How can I load a vrml file in java3d and start it's animation.

Should I use another loader?

We have been searching arround google for an answer 2 days now. So please don't say try google :)

Thanks
