   Hi,
   I'm working on a puzzle game, where each of the tiles is a movieclip. When matching tiles get removed an explosion (via Flint) is created. The problem I am having is that after the first explosion, all mouse events are going to Flint even though I have deleted the explosion object. Can someone offer some help/suggestions.
   
   
   Here is how init the explosion object.
   explosions = new Flint( stage.width, stage.height );
   addChild( explosions );
   
   Later on when i need to create the explosions, I do:
   explosions.addEmitter( x, y, c, c );
   
   When I am done with the explosions I call the following routine:
   explosions.removeEmitter();
   removeChild( explosions );
   explosions = null;
   
   Here is the my Flint class ( I modified one of the examples from the website).
   
   package
   {
   import flash.display.Sprite;
   import flash.geom.Point;
   import flash.geom.Rectangle;
   import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
   import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;
   
   import flash.events.*;
   
   
   import org.flintparticles.common.actions.*;
   import org.flintparticles.common.counters.*;
   import org.flintparticles.common.displayObjects.*;
   import org.flintparticles.common.initializers.*;
   import org.flintparticles.twoD.actions.*;
   import org.flintparticles.twoD.emitters.*;
   import org.flintparticles.twoD.initializers.*;
   import org.flintparticles.twoD.renderers.*;
   import org.flintparticles.twoD.zones.*;
   import org.flintparticles.twoD.particles.*;
   
   public class Flint extends Sprite
   {
   var emitters:Array;
   var renderer:BitmapRenderer;
   
   public function Flint( x:int, y:int )
   {
   emitters = new Array();
   
   renderer = new BitmapRenderer( new Rectangle( 0, 0, x, y ) );
   renderer.addFilter( new BlurFilter( 2, 2, 1 ) );
   renderer.addFilter( new ColorMatrixFilter( [ 1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0.95,0 ] ) );
   addChild( renderer );
   
   }
   
   
   function addEmitter( x:int, y:int, colorMin:int, colorMax:int )
   {
   var emitter:Emitter2D = new Emitter2D();
   emitter.counter = new Blast( 50 ); // steady, blast
   
   emitter.addInitializer( new SharedImage( new Line( 1 ) ) );
   emitter.addInitializer( new ColorInit( colorMin, colorMax ) );
   emitter.addInitializer( new Velocity( new DiscZone( new Point( 0, 0 ), 100, 100 ) ) );
   emitter.addInitializer( new Lifetime( 0.2, 0.4 ) );
   
   emitter.addAction( new Age() );
   emitter.addAction( new Move() );
   emitter.addAction( new RotateToDirection() );
   
   emitter.x = x;
   emitter.y = y;
   
   emitters.push ( emitter );
   renderer.addEmitter( emitter );
   
   emitter.start()
   }
   
   function removeEmitter()
   {
   //http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=203&page;=1#Item_0
   
   for ( var i:int = 0; i < emitters.length; i++ )
   {
   // Stop the emitter
   emitters[i].stop();
   // Clear all the cached particles
   ParticleCreator2D( emitters[i].particleFactory ).clearAllParticles();
   // Remove references to the emitter
   renderer.removeEmitter( emitters[i]);
   emitters[i] = null;
   }
   
   // Remove references to the renderer
   removeChild( renderer );
   renderer = null;
   }
   
   }
   }

   Never mind, I found the problem. It seems that I was creating multiple instances of explosions, hence I was only removing once instance of explosion instead of the many that I was unknowingly creating.
