   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 very similar to the firework, so I thought using it as a base would be a good place to start. I've never used FLiNT before so I figured I could use a head start lol
   
   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...

   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 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...

   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
