   I'm writing biomedical simulations using Flint (see an example at http://elearning.millipore.com) and I'm using the dictionary property to add additional data to each particle. I've found it useful to have a generic initializer that will take a "template" object and stuff the values into the dictionary.
   
   May I propose this become part of a future release?

   package org.flintparticles.common.initializers
   {
   import flash.utils.Dictionary;
   
   import org.flintparticles.common.emitters.Emitter;
   import org.flintparticles.common.particles.Particle;
   
   public class DictionaryInitializer extends InitializerBase
   {
   private var _template: Object;
   
   public function DictionaryInitializer(template:Object)
   {
   _template = template;
   }
   
   public override function initialize(emitter:Emitter, particle:Particle):void
   {
   if (_template == null) return;
   var dict: Dictionary = particle.dictionary;
   for (var key:* in _template) {
   dict[key] = _template[key];
   }
   }
   
   }
   }

   Hi Richard
   
   Sounds like a good idea. I'll try to include it soon.
