I want to make a faux 3-d starfield that moves bottom-to-top using just the 2D properties of flint. What I need to do is have the larger particles (i.e. closer to the 'camera') move faster than the ...


var scaleSpeed:Number = Math.random()*20;

var emitter:Emitter2D = new Emitter2D();
emitter.counter = new Steady( 2 );

emitter.addInitializer( new ImageClass( Dot, 4 ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new Position( new LineZone( new Point( -5, stage.stageHeight+12 ), new Point( stage.stageWidth+12, stage.stageHeight+5 ) ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new Velocity( new LineZone( new Point( 0, -1 ), new Point( 0, -scaleSpeed) ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new ColorInit( 0xFF000000, 0x33000000 ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new ScaleImageInit( 0.25, scaleSpeed ) );

Also, what tags do you use to display quote on this site? (nvm, it's 'code', I was using ['s instead of <'s)

Thanks!]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=299&Focus=1040#Comment_1040 2010-01-11T22:25:15+00:00 2010-01-11T22:26:44+00:00 gordeaoux http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=262

Realized how to pull this off own my own, hope this helps someone out there: import org.flintparticles.common.counters.*; import org.flintparticles.common.displayObjects.Dot; import ...
