Hello, i’m using collada_dom 1.4.1, including this files in my application
#include <dae.h>
#include <dom/domCOLLADA.h>
#include <dom/domConstants.h>
When i try to use this code
domProfile_COMMON *eff;
collada_dom->getDatabase()->getElement((daeElement**)&eff,0,0,COLLADA_TYPE_PROFILE_COMMON,0);
{
domAmbientRef Amb = eff->getTechnique()->getBlinn()->getAmbient();
Amb->getColor()->getValue().get3at(0,this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.r,this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.g,this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.b);
this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.a = Amb->getColor()->getValue()->get(3);
}
I receive a lot of errors:

All seems to start from domprofile_COMMON, but i do not know how to proceed…
Can you help mep please?
In C if it says you have an undefined type it usually means you’re missing a #include. In your case you want #include <dom/domProfile_COMMON.h>.
Oh…then the file is not included automatically in domCOLLADA.h?
I’ve got another problem 
I’ve included the file, now the part works, but now i’ve got other problems:
domAmbientRef Amb = eff->getTechnique()->getBlinn()->getAmbient();
Amb->getColor()->getValue().get3at(0,this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.r,this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.g,this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.b);
this->ColladaBuffer.Mats.Ambient.a = Amb->getColor()->getValue()->get(3);
I receive this error

I’ve also included domlight.h
domAmbientRef is a nested class in domTechnique_common, which is a nested class in domLight. So it would be
domLight::domTechnique_common::domAmbientRef Amb = …
You could shorten it with a typedef:
typedef domLight::domTechnique_common::domAmbientRef domAmb;
domAmb amb = …

Thank you it works, but now i’ve got another problem.
domLight::domTechnique_common::domAmbientRef Amb = eff->getTechnique()->getBlinn()->getAmbient();
This gives me a compiler error:
Error 24 error C2440: ‘initializing’ : cannot convert from ‘domCommon_color_or_texture_type *’ to ‘domLight::domTechnique_common::domAmbient *’ c:\users\vincenzo\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\colladadom\include\dae\daesmartref.h 44
I tried also daesafecast but it does not works. Is this the right way to get the material floats value?
You need to be willing to open up header files and look at the function declarations if you’re going to make any progress. domBlinn::getAmbient returns a domFx_common_color_or_texture_type object, which has a getColor method. getBlinn()->getAmbient()->getColor().
