I am using the following intializer code which says to use one of these 3 classes (simple Shapes) and I want 1 Rect for every 10 Circles. addInitializer(new ImageClasses([Rect, Circle, ...

addInitializer(new ImageClasses([Rect, Circle, Ring],[1,10]));

The shapes take a color param in their constructor, at present I am randomizing the color in a base class for each shape. Is it possible to pass in parameters to their constructors? Or even better is there a way to pass in a new ImageClass for each item in the array to ImageClasses?]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=457&Focus=1554#Comment_1554 2011-02-20T01:00:26+00:00 2011-12-10T22:43:58+00:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

You can pass an array instead of a simple class, then the first item in the array should be the class, and the other items the parameters for the constructor. For example addInitializer(new ...

addInitializer(new ImageClasses([ [Rect, 5, 10], [Circle, 5], [Ring, 3, 5] ], [1, 10, 1] ));

I'm not sure what you're asking with the second part of your question. Would you try explaining again.]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=457&Focus=1558#Comment_1558 2011-02-21T17:07:53+00:00 2011-12-10T22:43:58+00:00 FlashDev2007 http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=460

I just needed to pass in params to each constructor, and couldn't see how it was done, thank you. Ignore the second part this will do nicely.

Hmm this is interesting... I was looking at ImageClasses and SharedImages... It seemed to me SharedImages was for passing instances of DisplayObject, and ImageClasses was for passing classes - so ...

It seemed to me SharedImages was for passing instances of DisplayObject, and ImageClasses was for passing classes - so which would be more appropriate?
In my mind his use case would warrant SharedImages usage - but again I didn't realize ImageClasses took such complex (and untyped) input.

Just my 2 cents, I've been having so much fun playing with Flint - and I've even built my own particle systems in AS3! Just trying to get a better handle on your framework (which is much more friendly than others I've used/implemented)!]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=457&Focus=1576#Comment_1576 2011-03-06T15:32:02+00:00 2011-12-10T22:43:58+00:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

In general, SharedImage and SharedImages are more suitable if you're using a BitmapRenderer, since this renderer can share a single display object between multiple particles. ImageClass and ...
