Is it possible to have an emitter as a stage instance and then animate it?

I'd like to be able to animate my emitter along a complex path.

Cheers.

You can't create an emitter as a stage instance, but it does have x and y properties so a lot of animation scripts would work with it.

Alternatively, you could animate the renderer - it's a little unconventional but would work. The renderer is a Sprite, so it exists on the display list. The emitter is rendered in the coordinate space of the renderer so moving the renderer would move the emitter relative to other display objects. ]]>
