I'm trying to load images as particles. Although I found this description

var emitter:Emitter2D = new Emitter2D();
var renderer:DisplayObjectRenderer = new DisplayObjectRenderer();
addChild( renderer );

renderer.addEmitter( emitter );
emitter.counter = new Steady( 100 );
var imgClass:ImageClass = new ImageClass( MyBall , 10, 10 ); // MyBall is exported class of ball.png


emitter.addInitializer( imgClass );
emitter.addInitializer( new Position( new LineZone( new Point( -5, -5 ), new Point( 505, -5 ) ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new Velocity( new PointZone( new Point( 0, 65 ) ) ) );

emitter.addAction( new Move() );
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert MyBall@10906281 to flash.display.DisplayObject.
at org.flintparticles.twoD.renderers::DisplayObjectRenderer/addParticle()

I'm not abel to figgure out how to load the image itself.. how can I export a png as a class? Heven't done that yet. ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1036#Comment_1036 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1036#Comment_1036 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:11:24 +0000 luedfe http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1037#Comment_1037 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1037#Comment_1037 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:34:37 +0000 gordeaoux
You could also look into image loading in the flash docs if you want to load the whole thing programmatically.

emitter.addInitializer( imgClass );


to this:

emitter.addInitializer( new ImageClass ( imgClass ) );


import your image into your flash library. Make a movieclip out of it, in the properties panel for your movie clip, check "Export for Actionscript" and type "imgClass" in the Class field. The Base Class line should auto fill to "flash.display.MovieClip".

If all of your code is in Frame 1 of your timeline, everything should work fine.

Here's an example:

package
{
public class MyBallBitmap extends Bitmap
{
public function MyBallBitmap
{
// parameters are the width and height of the image
bitmapData = new MyBall( 10, 10 );
}
}
}

Then use this in your ImageClass initializer

var imgClass:ImageClass = new ImageClass( MyBallBitmap );
emitter.addInitializer( imgClass ); ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1047#Comment_1047 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1047#Comment_1047 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:28:38 +0000 cambaz
how can we use images as particles without making them into a movieclip??? ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1050#Comment_1050 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1050#Comment_1050 Sat, 16 Jan 2010 20:15:55 +0000 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1136#Comment_1136 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=298&Focus=1136#Comment_1136 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:58:48 +0000 PerlakiDesign load the bitmap first,
store it in a cache class, and if you want to emit the same bitmap several times,
I mean more than 1 instance of the same bitmap at the same time on screen,
return it from the cache class like this:

private static var _bitmap : Bitmap;

static public function get bitmap() : Bitmap {
return new Bitmap(_bitmap.bitmapData.clone());
}

do a class that extends MovieClip,
something like this:

public class BitmapClass extends MovieClip {
public function BitmapClass () {
super();
addChild(BitmapCacher.bitmap);
}
}

now when you add the initializer, use the ImageClass,
and the argument will be the BitmapClass itself, and NOTan instance of it:

addInitializer( new ImageClass( BitmapSeedClass ));

Hope it's clear enough. ]]>
