First of all, thanks for such a brilliant particle system. I've been using it for a little while now and have managed to get to grips with most stuff by reading here and in the documentation. However, I have a 'best practice' style question and another query I hope you can help with.

Firstly, I am currently creating many different emitters, each with one particle each because they all have slightly different behaviors. Is this the correct thing to do or should I be using one emitter that creates many particles? The performance seems to be pretty good as it is.

My other question is is it possible to make a TextField behave like a particle? I basically want some text to float within some constraints and can't work out how to do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=697#Comment_697 2009-02-17T20:35:12+00:00 2010-12-25T17:09:46+00:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

The image property of a particle can be any display object. Since a textfield is a display object, it should be fine to use that as a particle's image.

Re: your question - if it works, it's fine. Normally, if the differences are minor I'd try to make a single action with different parameters stored in each particle to account for the differences, ...

I tried extending TextField, MovieClip and Bitmap.

TextField renders the textfield for a fraction of a second at first and then nothing is shown while converting the textfield into bitmap generates a square with the same width and height as the width of the textfield... the square has one color.

any idea?
