SubclassesEmitterImage, FollowMouse, MoveEmitter, RotateEmitter, UpdateOnFrame

The Activity class is the abstract base class for all emitter activities. Instances of the Activity class should not be directly created because the Activity class itself simply defines default methods that do nothing. Classes that extend the Activity class implement their own functionality for the methods they want to use.

An Activity is a class that is used to modify the behaviour of the emitter over time. It may, for example, move or rotate the emitter.

Activities are added to the emitter by using its addActivity method.

Constructor detail
Activity()constructor
public function Activity()

The constructor creates an Activity object. But you shouldn't use it because the Activity class is abstract.

Method detail
addedToEmitter()method
public function addedToEmitter(emitter:Emitter):void

The addedToEmitter method is called from the emitter when the Activity is added to it It is called within the emitter's addActivity method and need not be called by the user.

Parameters
emitter:Emitter — The Emitter that the Activity was added to.
getDefaultPriority()method 
public function getDefaultPriority():Number

The getDefaultPriority method is used to order the execution of activities. It is called within the emitter's addActivity method when the user doesn't manually set a priority. It need not be called directly by the user.

Returns
Number
