I've just started using FLINT so here is my dummy question:

Let's say I start from the snow example and I want to make it snow from a small could.
addInitializer(new Position(new LineZone(new Point(-50, 0), new Point(50, 0))));

then I rotate the emitter depending on the cloud rotation:
on enter frame: _emitter.rotation = _cloud.rotation;

How can I correctly apply the gravity and speed to the particles so that all the snowflakes will keep on going down after an initial movement in the direction of the emitter?


Also I was wondering, is it possible to change the color of the new particles from time to time without effecting the older ones already visible?

Thanks!


Cheers

I was thinking of converting the fountain example in 2d and then see how close I can get adding the rotation ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=190&Focus=737#Comment_737 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=190&Focus=737#Comment_737 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:49:49 +0000 Richard acceleration to the snow to make it turn to move downwards, and probably some drag to stop it going too fast. Add to that a ColorInit initializer to set the color. Changing the color property on this initializer will alter the color of new particles without affecting those already created. ]]>
