   My particles have a random feature/aspect/characteristic so I would like the ParticleCreator2D not to reuse them.
   What I did was to create a new particle factory class, namely ParticleWasteCreator2D, which extends from ParticleCreator2D and override the disposeParticle method as follows:
   
   override public function disposeParticle(particle:Particle):void
   {
   if (particle is Particle2D)
   {
   particle.isDead = true;
   }
   }
   
   Does someone see a better way to do this?
   Am I missing something?
   
   Thanks for your help.
   And thanks for this brilliant framework.

   You're looking for something like this...
   
   package org.flintparticles.twoD.particles
{
import org.flintparticles.common.particles.Particle;
import org.flintparticles.common.particles.ParticleFactory;

public class SimpleParticleCreator2D implements ParticleFactory
{
public function SimpleParticleCreator2D()
{
}

public function createParticle():Particle
{
return new Particle2D();
}

public function disposeParticle( particle:Particle ):void
{
}

public function clearAllParticles():void
{
}
}
}
