   I m trying to create a sparckel effect but cannot get the particles to dissapear when they stop moving. They get emmited with a Lifetime of (0.1, 0.2) so they quickly stop moving, but then they stay on screen and slowly fade away instead of "popping" out...
   
   emitter = new Emitter2D();
   emitter.counter = new Random(50, 150);
   
   emitter.addInitializer(new SharedImage(new Star(6)));
   emitter.addInitializer(new ColorInit(whiteColor, whiteColor));
   emitter.addInitializer(new Velocity( new DiscZone( new Point(0, 0), 300, 10)));
   emitter.addInitializer( new ScaleImageInit( 0.5, 1));
   emitter.addInitializer(new Lifetime(0.1, 0.2));
   
   emitter.addAction( new Age());
   emitter.addAction( new Fade());
   emitter.addAction( new Move());
   emitter.addAction( new LinearDrag(1));
   emitter.addAction( new Accelerate(0, 30));
   emitter.addAction( new RotateToDirection());

   HI
   
   Sorry for the delay in responding.
   
   I tried your code exactly and the particles faded and disappeared very quickly - in the specified 0.1 to 0.2 seconds. If it's still not working for you, can you put your swf online somewhere so we can see it failing - it will make it easier to diagnose the problem.
   
   Thanks
