My emitter listens for the ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD event.
From what I've gathered, the event is dispatched and first AFTER the event has been handled, the particle is removed.

However, in my event handler for the event, I try this:
trace(e.particle.image.x);
trace(e.particle.image.y);

Both return 0.

trace(e.particle.isDead);
returns true as well

So the particle is removed before the event is handled, or at least before the code in the event handler runs.

How would one go about to try and figure out the x/y after a particle dies?]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=243&Focus=890#Comment_890 2009-08-08T11:08:25+01:00 2010-12-25T17:21:40+00:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

When a particle dies, the emitter dispatches a particleDead event which caries information about the particle, including its location.

I'm having the same problem as TackleMcClean, I get 0 in the output: emitter.addEventListener(ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD, pDead); function ...

emitter.addEventListener(ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD, pDead);
function pDead(ef:ParticleEvent):void{
trace(ef.target.x)
}

I assume it's because the "target" refers to the Emitter2d object and not the particle. How do I figure out which particle has just died, or it's properties? Is particleDead different than ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD?]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=243&Focus=949#Comment_949 2009-11-02T04:59:20+00:00 2010-12-25T17:21:40+00:00 gordeaoux http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=262

Never mind, fixed it. I thought I had tried this before, but it works now: function ...


function pDead(ef:ParticleEvent):void{
trace(ef.particle.image.x)
}

emitter.addEventListener(ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD, pDead);

This should also work function pDead(ef:ParticleEvent):void{ trace(ef.particle.x) }

function pDead(ef:ParticleEvent):void{
trace(ef.particle.x)
}]]>
