I am using createPixelParticlesFromBitmapData() which I see uses getpixel32(). A as particle type I see the pixel is particle2D. At that point I start to get lost as I do not understand how the alpha channel is included in the color information.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I was under the mistaken impression that the starting parameter of 1 was as initial alpha was the particles current alpha .

Of course this does lead me to a question of: Is there an action by which you can fade from the current level of an alpha to an ending alpha?

Thanks,

I accomplished the same thing by creating a custom class modifying your Fade action with about three lines so I maintain similar functionality if the alpha is > 0;

But while doing it I saw some really interesting possibilities for modifying energy levels etc for some potential sp eff. When I get time I think I will explore some of those potential effects.

I really like this system.
