   Hi,
   
   I have a problem with DisplayObjectZone and CollisionZone, particles bounce off the center of the emitter and jump over and over again. I have no idea how to solve.
   "zz" in source is MC on the stage.
   Please help.

   Click the mouse to emit

   As stated in the docs, the direction of the collision with the DisplayObjectZone is not accurate. Only the fact that a collision occurs is accurate. Since the DisplayObject may be of any shape, calculating collision directions is not simple and has not been implemented. Instead, particles that collide with a DisplayObjectZone simply bounce back in the direction they came from. I would like to improve this later, but in the meantime if you want accurate collision directions you should use a combination of the shape based zones like LineZone, RectangleZone and DiscZone. Either combine them as a MultiZone or apply them individually as multiple CollisionZone actions.
