   Hello,
   
   my first attempt to create an emitter didn't work at all,
   
   here is my code:
   
   // PARTICLES SYSTEM
   var particles:Particles = new Particles();
   this._scene.addChild( particles );
   
   var emitter:Emitter3D = new Whizzer( new LineZone( new Vector3D( -200, 0, 0 ), new Vector3D( 200, 0, 0) ) );
   _flintRenderer = new PV3DParticleRenderer(particles);
   _flintRenderer.addEmitter(emitter);
   //emitter.addEventListener( ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD, whizzBang, false, 0, true );
   //emitter.start();
   
   And after running this I get the following error:
   
   TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert org.flintparticles.common.displayObjects::Dot@1fe165f1 to org.papervision3d.core.geom.renderables.Particle.

   Any ideas, did I forget something obvious?
   
   Thanks in advance.

   ok, after modifying Whizzer Class it seems to compile without errors,
   
   changed
   
   addInitializer( new SharedImage( new Dot( 4 ) ) );
   
   to
   
   addInitializer( new PV3DObjectClass ( Particle, new ParticleMaterial(0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 1), 5, 5));
   
   the same should be done on SphereBang as well.
   
   Cheers
