Clickable Three JS Convex Objects (once clicked reveals image)

I adjusted an example from the three js website.
I'm looking for making the small floating objects have a click event.
The click event would trigger an image or video revealed on the larger convex shape in the center

var lastTimeMsec= null
requestAnimationFrame(function animate(nowMsec){
// keep looping
requestAnimationFrame( animate );
// measure time
lastTimeMsec = lastTimeMsec || nowMsec-1000/60
var deltaMsec = Math.min(200, nowMsec - lastTimeMsec)
lastTimeMsec = nowMsec
// call each update function
onRenderFcts.forEach(function(onRenderFct){
onRenderFct(deltaMsec/1000, nowMsec/1000)
})
})

The normal way of doing this is using a THREE.Raycaster and THREE.Projector to cast a ray from the camera through space, then finding if an object intersects with this ray.
See this example: http://soledadpenades.com/articles/three-js-tutorials/object-picking/
Thankfully, others have implemented libraries such as ObjectControls: https://github.com/cabbibo/ObjectControls
This allows you to directly attach hover or select events to meshes and it will just work.

CreateMultiMaterialObject method creates an object3D, so when you click, it is necessary to specify the second parameter (recursion) = true:
var intersects = raycaster.intersectObjects( objects, true );
if ( intersects.length > 0 ) {
intersects[ 0 ].object.material.color.setHex( Math.random() * 0xffffff );
}

Adding clickable image to a mesh

This may be a really stupid question, but I am new to three.js and while I've gotten the obj file to load on the web and be controllable via mouse, I'm not quite sure how to handle the next step.
What I'd really like to do is overlay a clickable .jpg or .png file over a section of the existing mesh linking out to some web pages I already have completed. How would I go about doing this? I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to an example or let me know if it's not doable so I can look for possible alternatives.
The code I currently have is below -- it's mostly cobbled together from online example so forgive me if it seems redundant or inelegant.
var container, stats;
var camera, scene, renderer;
var mouseX = 0, mouseY = 0;
var windowHalfX = window.innerWidth / 2;
var windowHalfY = window.innerHeight / 2;
init();
animate();
function init() {
container = document.createElement( 'div' );
document.body.appendChild( container );
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 45, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 2000 );
camera.position.z = 10;
controls = new THREE.TrackballControls( camera );
controls.rotateSpeed = 1.0;
controls.zoomSpeed = 1.2;
controls.panSpeed = 0.8;
controls.noZoom = false;
controls.noPan = false;
controls.staticMoving = true;
controls.dynamicDampingFactor = 0.3;
controls.keys = [ 65, 83, 68 ];
controls.addEventListener( render );
// scene
scene = new THREE.Scene();
var ambient = new THREE.AmbientLight( 0xFFFFFF );
scene.add( ambient );
/*var directionalLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight( 0xffffff );
directionalLight.position.set( 1, 1, 0 ).normalize();
scene.add( directionalLight );*/
var hemisphereLight = new THREE.HemisphereLight( 0xffffff, 0xffffff, .70);
scene.add( hemisphereLight );
// model
var onProgress = function ( xhr ) {
if ( xhr.lengthComputable ) {
var percentComplete = xhr.loaded / xhr.total * 100;
console.log( Math.round(percentComplete, 2) + '% downloaded' );
}
};
var onError = function ( xhr ) {
};
THREE.Loader.Handlers.add( /\.dds$/i, new THREE.DDSLoader() );
THREE.Loader.Handlers.add( /\.dds$/i, new THREE.DDSLoader() );
var loader = new THREE.OBJMTLLoader();
loader.load( 'obj/test/test_model.obj', 'obj/test/test_model.mtl', function ( object ) {
object.scale = new THREE.Vector3( 25, 25, 25 );
//object.position.y = - 80;
scene.add( object );
}, onProgress, onError );
//
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ alpha: true });
renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );
container.appendChild( renderer.domElement );
document.addEventListener( 'mousemove', onDocumentMouseMove, false );
//
window.addEventListener( 'resize', onWindowResize, false );
}
function onWindowResize() {
windowHalfX = window.innerWidth / 2;
windowHalfY = window.innerHeight / 2;
camera.aspect = window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight;
camera.updateProjectionMatrix();
renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );
controls.handleResize();
}
function onDocumentMouseMove( event ) {
// mouseX = ( event.clientX - windowHalfX ) / 2;
// mouseY = ( event.clientY - windowHalfY ) / 2;
}
//
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame( animate );
controls.update();
render();
}
function render() {
//camera.position.x += ( mouseX - camera.position.x ) * .05;
//camera.position.y += ( - mouseY - camera.position.y ) * .05;
//camera.lookAt( scene.position );
renderer.render( scene, camera );
}

In your onDocumentMouseMove - or in a click event - you must compute a ray-picking intersection with http://threejs.org/docs/#Reference/Core/Raycaster and handle the reaction from there.
There are multiples examples of this, in the Three.js examples (like http://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_geometry_terrain_raycast) and on StackOverflow.
A very naive solution could be:
// note that you may have to use other properties if the renderer is not fullscreen"
// like here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13542175/three-js-ray-intersect-fails-by-adding-div
var mouseX = ( event.clientX / window.innerWidth ) * 2 - 1;
var mouseY = -( event.clientY / window.innerHeight ) * 2 + 1;
var vector = new THREE.Vector3( mouseX, mouseY, camera.near );
// Convert the [-1, 1] screen coordinate into a world coordinate on the near plane
vector.unproject( camera );
var raycaster = new THREE.Raycaster( camera.position, vector.sub( camera.position ).normalize() );
// See if the ray from the camera into the world hits one of our meshes
var intersects = raycaster.intersectObjects( scene, true ); // true for recursive
// Toggle rotation bool for meshes that we clicked
if ( intersects.length > 0 ) {
var clickedObject = intersects[ 0 ].object;
// here, handle the clickedObject properties to react accordingly
// show an overlay, jump to a page, etc..
}

What am I doing wrong ?
Looking forward to hear from you

you're loading the textures with an image loader:
var loader = new THREE.ImageLoader( manager );
loader.load( 'bb.jpg', function ( image ) {
texture.image = image;
texture.needsUpdate = true;
} );
i've never worked with it because in most examples given textures are loaded in a different way:
var texture = THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('path/to/texture.png');

Three.js - Applying a texture( 2D png image ) around 3D sphere appears black

I am using THREE.js to display a 3d rotating earth in the browser.
I also want a image to appear around the rotating earth.
I tried a few methods but they didnt work at all.
I used the image loader but it shows nothing.
var img = new THREE.ImageLoader();
img.load("texture/circle.png");
I basically wanted something like this, http://imgur.com/AV28hq6
The globe is working well, I just need to have the circular image over it as seen in the picture.

Could it be that you forgot yo add some light?
/ add subtle ambient lighting
var ambientLight = new THREE.AmbientLight(0x555555);
scene.add(ambientLight);
// add directional light source
var directionalLight = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff);
directionalLight.position.set(1, 1, 1).normalize();
scene.add(directionalLight);
Hope it helps!

Three.js Multiple textures and images in one scene

I am using THREE.js to display a 3d rotating earth in the browser. I also want a image to appear around the rotating earth.
I tried using the built in method,
var img = new THREE.ImageLoader();
img.load("texture/circle.png");
But the image does not appear only. It's just the rotating sphere.
I want something like this
Here is my script tag,
<script>
var container, stats;
var camera, scene, renderer;
var group;
var mouseX = 0, mouseY = 0;
var windowHalfX = window.innerWidth / 2;
var windowHalfY = window.innerHeight / 2;

animate();
function init() {
container = document.getElementById( 'container' );
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 60, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 1, 2000 );

var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { map: texture, overdraw: true } );
var mesh = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
group.add( mesh );
} );
// shadow
var canvas = document.createElement( 'canvas' );
canvas.width = 128;
canvas.height = 128;
var context = canvas.getContext( '2d' );
var gradient = context.createRadialGradient(
canvas.width / 2,
canvas.height / 2,
0,
canvas.width / 2,

);
//gradient.addColorStop( 0.1, 'rgba(210,210,210,1)' );

camera.lookAt( scene.position );
group.rotation.y -= 0.003;
renderer.render( scene, camera );
}
</script>

The plane is horizontal. Remove this line:
mesh.rotation.x = - Math.PI / 2;
Make sure the gradient is set up the way you want it, e.g.,
gradient.addColorStop( 0.9, 'rgba( 210, 210, 210, 1 )' );
gradient.addColorStop( 1, 'rgba( 0, 0, 0, 0 )' );
Also, CanvasRenderer will have artifacts with intersecting objects.
