Is there a way to do this effect with just plain text without using a bitmap? For example, I'd like to pass in a word or phrase and have this effect played on it.

Thanks.]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=345&Focus=1178#Comment_1178 2010-04-17T14:54:06+01:00 2011-12-13T06:11:11+00:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

If you use a DisplayObjectZone in the Velocity initializer, using a TextField as the display object, it should work.

I did it this way... Is there an easier way? Also the word is not really that legible.. Is there a way I can sharpen the text?

To remove the blur, use a PointZone for the Position initializer emitter.addInitializer( new Position( new PointZone( new Point( 0, 0 ) ) ) ); Or remove it altogether (placing new particles at ...

emitter.addInitializer( new Position( new PointZone( new Point( 0, 0 ) ) ) );

Or remove it altogether (placing new particles at 0,0 is the default position behaviour).]]>
