   Heya, I've just recently started out with Flint. I've followed some tutorials but still am struggling with something that, at least I would think, should be very simple.
   
   How would I speed up particles?
   
   I have an Emitter class that handles snow particles. Inside the class I have the following function:
   
   
   public function setSpeed(nValue:int):void
   {
   nSpeed += nValue;
   
   //addInitializer( new Velocity( new PointZone( new Point( 0, nSpeed) ) ) );
   //addAction(new Accelerate(0, nSpeed));
   
   for (var i:int = 0; i < particles.length; i++)
   {
   particles[i].velY = nSpeed;
   }
   }
   
   Tried things back and forth but not getting a desirable result. I am calling the setSpeed function from a Background class; when it speeds up so should the particles. Is there not a way to update all particles in the Emitter on the spot with a given value?
   
   Thanks in advance.
