What a fantastic generator this seems! I have just started using it and have followed the instructions on the snow flake example and have snow flakes falling beutifully on my screen.

However, I am now trying to assign an image rather than using the RadialDot class.

As you can see, on line 15 I have REM's out the RadialDot and put the imageclass in as suggested in the docs. In my library, I have also ensured that the image is set to export for actionscript with the class name of jb

When I run it, I get nothing and then a hige stack of errors.

Here is my code - can anyone help a noob?

Thanks.

import org.flintparticles.twoD.zones.*;

var emitter:Emitter2D = new Emitter2D();

emitter.counter = new Steady( 100 );

//emitter.addInitializer( new ImageClass( RadialDot, 2 ) );

// below is the image class I am trying to use
var imgClass:ImageClass = new ImageClass( jb );

emitter.addInitializer( new Position( new LineZone( new Point( -5, -5 ), new Point( 505, -5 ) ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new Velocity( new PointZone( new Point( 0, 15 ) ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new ScaleImageInit( 0.75, 2 ) );

emitter.addAction( new Move() );
emitter.addAction( new DeathZone( new RectangleZone( -10, -10, 520, 420 ), true ) );
emitter.addAction( new RandomDrift( 15, 15 ) );

var imgClass:ImageClass = new ImageClass( jb );

to this

emitter.addInitializer( new ImageClass( jb ) ); ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=134&Focus=551#Comment_551 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=134&Focus=551#Comment_551 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:42:02 +0000 luka66_6
I tryed this and it worked very nice. But i have an follow up question. Let's say that i have a bunch of different snow flake ilustrations and i wannt them all to be used by same emitter lets say at random so i do get a lot of different snow flakes. I mean I know I could just set lets say 10 different emmiters and have them all emitting one or two snowflake ilustrations at same time and place so the result would be somewhat similar but i would like to know can one emitter emmit different imageClasses from array or something. How can one do such a thing if possible?

regards and have a nice day

I have tried that an unfortunately it is still not working for me.

When I look in the library, I can see that my image has a linkage of Export:jb - which I assume is correct?

The full code I now have is below. I would be very grateful for further assistance.

I should also mention I am using CS4 - the snow effect comiles fine, just not when I try and use an image, so I assume it not a CS4 issue.

Thanks.

@ totalsurf: What is the error that you get? It is easer to help if we now what is an error.

ps: My compliments to creator of this class/library/system It rocks my world now.

The first part I get once, and the 2nd part just repeats and repeats...
