Hi there, I've just copied the code from the firework example into the document class of my .fla file and I'm not getting anything appearing on screen... any ideas why? I want to achieve an effect ...

It's literally copy-pasted straight in, except I have it in the document class rather than on the timeline. I don't think I really need to put this in, but here's my code:

package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.geom.Point;

public class BlastTest extends MovieClip
{
//Vars



//Constructor
public function BlastTest():void
{


var emitter:Emitter2D = new Emitter2D();

emitter.counter = new Blast( 700 );

emitter.addInitializer( new SharedImage( new Dot( 2 ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new ColorInit( 0xFFFFFF00, 0xFFFF6600 ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new Velocity( new DiscZone( new Point( 0, 0 ), 200, 120 ) ) );
emitter.addInitializer( new Lifetime( 5 ) );

emitter.addAction( new Age( Quadratic.easeIn ) );
emitter.addAction( new Move() );
emitter.addAction( new Fade() );
emitter.addAction( new Accelerate( 0, 50 ) );
emitter.addAction( new LinearDrag( 0.5 ) );

emitter.addEventListener( EmitterEvent.EMITTER_EMPTY, restart );

var renderer:BitmapRenderer = new BitmapRenderer( new Rectangle( 0, 0, 500, 400 ) );
renderer.addFilter( new BlurFilter( 2, 2, 1 ) );
renderer.addFilter( new ColorMatrixFilter( [ 1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0.95,0 ] ) );
renderer.addEmitter( emitter );
addChild( renderer );

emitter.x = 250;
emitter.y = 150;
emitter.start();
}

function restart( ev:EmitterEvent ):void
{
Emitter2D( ev.target ).start();
}
}
}

I'm not getting any errors, just a blank swf...]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=305&Focus=1059#Comment_1059 2010-01-22T11:38:54+00:00 2011-12-13T13:34:43+00:00 Dinkyfish http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=306

I have downloaded the examples from the downloads section and noticed that they were created using CS3 while I am using CS4, could this be the problem? I have even tried just creating a plain ...

I have even tried just creating a plain emitter and renderer, with no 'effects' applied to them and I'm still getting nothing. If anyone has any ideas please tell me, I don't have much time left to spend on this so if I can't get some sort of answer then I'm going to have to use an alternative system...]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=305&Focus=1062#Comment_1062 2010-01-22T15:54:13+00:00 2011-12-13T13:34:43+00:00 Dinkyfish http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=306

Never mind... it was to do with the file paths and whatnot... stuff that I don't really understand and shouldn't tinker with haha
