I'm having some issues using the stop method on a steady counter - how exactly to I reference it? Basically I want to be able to toggle the particles on and off.

Either retain a reference to your counter - var steadyCounter:Steady = new Steady( 100 ); emitter.counter = steadyCounter; steadyCounter.stop(); or cast the counter reference from the ...

var steadyCounter:Steady = new Steady( 100 );
emitter.counter = steadyCounter;
steadyCounter.stop();

or cast the counter reference from the emitter

emitter.counter = new Steady( 100 );
Steady( emitter.counter ).stop();

A future version will require all counters to have a stop method, so stop can be rolled into the Counter interface and there will be no need for the type cast.]]>
