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. ]]> TextField as particle http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=697#Comment_697 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=697#Comment_697 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:35:12 +0000 Richard TextField as particle http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=699#Comment_699 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=699#Comment_699 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:39:25 +0000 Richard TextField as particle http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=961#Comment_961 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=961#Comment_961 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:54:28 +0000 cadqc 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?

thanks ]]> TextField as particle http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=962#Comment_962 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=176&Focus=962#Comment_962 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:56:29 +0000 cadqc
