InheritanceScaleAll Inheritance ActionBase Inheritance Object

The ScaleAll action adjusts the size of the particles image, its collision radius and its mass as it ages. It uses the particle's energy level to decide what size the particle should be.

Usually a particle's energy changes from 1 to 0 over its lifetime, but this can be altered via the easing function set within the age action.

This action should be used in conjunction with the Age action.

If you only want to adjust the image size of the particle, use the ScaleImage action.

Constructor Detail
ScaleAll()Constructor
public function ScaleAll(startScale:Number = 1, endScale:Number = 1)

The constructor creates a ScaleImage action for use by an emitter. To add a ScaleImage to all particles created by an emitter, use the emitter's addAction method.

Parameters
startScale:Number (default = 1) — The scale factor for the particle when its energy is 1 - usually at the start of its lifetime. A scale of 1 is normal size.
 
endScale:Number (default = 1) — The scale factor for the particle when its energy is 0 - usually at the end of its lifetime. A scale of 1 is normal size.

Method Detail
update()method
override public function update(emitter:Emitter, particle:Particle, time:Number):void

Sets the scale of the particle based on the values defined and the particle's energy level.

This method is called by the emitter and need not be called by the user

Parameters

emitter:Emitter — The Emitter that created the particle.
 
particle:Particle — The particle to be updated.
 
time:Number — The duration of the frame - used for time based updates.
