The DisplayObjectRenderer is a native Flint 3D renderer that draws particles
as display objects in the renderer. The particles are drawn face-on to the
camera, with perspective applied to position and scale the particles.
Particles may be represented by any DisplayObject and each particle
must use a different DisplayObject instance. The DisplayObject
to be used should not be defined using the SharedImage initializer
because this shares one DisplayObject instance between all the particles.
The ImageClass initializer is commonly used because this creates a new
DisplayObject for each particle.
The DisplayObjectRenderer has mouse events disabled for itself and any
display objects in its display list. To enable mouse events for the renderer
or its children set the mouseEnabled or mouseChildren properties to true.
Because the DisplayObject3DRenderer directly uses the particle's image,
it is not suitable in situations where the same particle will be displayed
by two different renderers.
camera:Camera
The camera controls the view for the renderer
Implementation public function get camera():Camera public function set camera(value:Camera):voidzSort:Boolean
Indicates whether the particles should be sorted in distance order for display.
Implementation public function get zSort():Boolean public function set zSort(value:Boolean):voidpublic function DisplayObjectRenderer(zSort:Boolean = true)
The constructor creates a DisplayObject3DRenderer. After creation the
renderer should be added to the display list of a DisplayObjectContainer
to place it on the stage.
Emitter's should be added to the renderer using the renderer's
addEmitter method. The renderer displays all the particles created
by the emitter's that have been added to it.
Parameters | zSort:Boolean (default = true) |
override protected function addParticle(particle:Particle):void
This method is called when a particle is added to an emitter -
usually becaus ethe emitter has just created the particle. The
method adds the particle's image to the renderer's display list.
It is called internally by Flint and need not be called by the user.
Parameters
| particle:Particle — The particle being added to the emitter.
|
override protected function removeParticle(particle:Particle):void
This method is called when a particle is removed from an emitter -
usually because the particle is dying. The method removes the
particle's image from the renderer's display list. It is called
internally by Flint and need not be called by the user.
Parameters
| particle:Particle — The particle being removed from the emitter.
|
override protected function renderParticles(particles:Array):void
This method positions and scales the particles according to the
particles' positions relative to the camera viewport.
This method is called internally by Flint and shouldn't need to be called
by the user.
Parameters
| particles:Array — The particles to be rendered.
