I've wanted to start with emitting no particles and for convenience, I tried to set the rate of Steady to 0 and the increase it at a later time.

However, this causes Steady's _timeToNext to bet set to Infinity, effectively making any further rate changes ineffective.

A similar issue exists with very small numbers, scheduling the next emit so far in the future that rate changes never apply in time.

A work around is to call startEmitter(), which resets _timeToNext and allows the new rate to take effect.

I suggest to reset _timeToNext in the rate setter as well, so that rate changes apply without having to take the extra step.

P.S: Great work you've done with Flint! I really enjoy working with its nice syntax.]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=368&Focus=1246#Comment_1246 2010-07-09T13:30:02+01:00 2012-05-27T07:11:54+01:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

Thanks for the bug report. I've updated the code in SVN. The change will be in the next full release.
