   I'm banging my head against the wall over this. I have a symbol on stage that I want to explode, similar to the Explode Image example. My code breaks here:
   
   var particles = Particle2DUtils.createParticle2DFromDisplayObject(sprite,renderer,emitter.particleFactory);
   emitter.addInitializer(particles);
   
   This results in:
   
   TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert org.flintparticles.twoD.particles::Particle2D@37fc30e1 to org.flintparticles.common.initializers.Initializer.
   at classes::Main/doExplosion()
   
   
   I can't seem to figure out how to make use of createParticle2DFromDisplayObject.
   
   Thanks for your help.

   It your second line of code, you're trying to add the particle as an initializer - it's not an initializer, it's a particle. Try
   
   var particle = Particle2DUtils.createParticle2DFromDisplayObject(sprite,renderer,emitter.particleFactory);
emitter.addExistingParticles( [particle] );
   
   if you want to apply your emitter's initializers to the particle, change the second line of code to
   
   emitter.addExistingParticles( [particle], true );
