Essentially what I'm trying to do is render typeography out of particles, and then SetRandom drift, while confining this to the shape of the type. I've gotten it to do the 1st bit, where it renders ...

Is this possible to do? If so how? as I'm a little stuck.


Thanks

Cant you just extend the boundingbox class?

Etend it to what? I've tried applying the BitmapDataZone into the parameters for the BoundingBox but it rejected it, were you thinking of another way? I should probably note, I don't code often ...

I should probably note, I don't code often and so I'm not very good at it.. If there is another way, can ya break it down for me please :)

I was just throwing ideas. I only started to play with flint myself and sometimes i feel like just writing my own particle system. but i guess if you know flint enough you can get it to do what you ...

Anyway i meant by extending the bounding box class. if you have the source handy you can see BoundingBox.as has an update method. you can see its this method that the emitter calls that has effects on particles.

I was thinking of extending it myself too but too busy at the moment]]>
