_startEmitter.addAction(new TweenToZone(new BitmapDataZone(__myBitmapData)));

This works great but I want my particles not to disappear when they reach their destination.

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks :) ]]> How do I prevent particles fading once reached destination? http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=408&Focus=1402#Comment_1402 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=408&Focus=1402#Comment_1402 Sat, 09 Oct 2010 16:16:32 +0100 Richard
However, if you listen for the particle dead event, you can revive the particle and add it to a different emitter which doesn't tween it (or kill it). Something like this

stableEmitter = new Emitter2D();
renderer.addEmitter( stableEmitter );
stableEmitter.start();

emitter.addEventListener( ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD, reviveParticle );

function reviveParticle( event:ParticleEvent ):void
{
  event.particle.revive();
  stableEmitter.addExistingParticles( [ event.particle ], false );
}

You can see a more complete example of this in the Logo Tween example. ]]> How do I prevent particles fading once reached destination? http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=408&Focus=1464#Comment_1464 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=408&Focus=1464#Comment_1464 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 21:15:40 +0000 Bob vd Bibs
i tried this but the particle still has an alpha of 0 so i cant see it. (or something else is wrong).
Is there a way of getting more control over the lifecycle of the particle? How can i prevent the particle from fading?

tnx ]]> How do I prevent particles fading once reached destination? http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=408&Focus=1484#Comment_1484 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=408&Focus=1484#Comment_1484 Mon, 20 Dec 2010 07:46:02 +0000 Richard

{
  event.particle.revive();
  event.particle.color = 0xFFFFFFFF;
  stableEmitter.addExistingParticles( [ event.particle ], false );
}
