Hi people, First post! Glad to be using FLiNT, looks to be the best flash particle engine out there. Exactly what I needed for my project, I will credit your work Richard. However I'm having ...

However I'm having issues with larger particles. I'm emitting large smoke particles and smaller ones from the same point. As the particles aren't centered, I come up with this result :

I would like the big smoke to be occupying the same space as the smaller sparks... Is there a way to tell the emitter to center them all? Here is all I do to define their initial position :
locBigSmokeEmiter.addInitializer( new Position( new DiscZone( new Point( 0, 0 ), 30)));

Thx!]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=557&Focus=1902#Comment_1902 2012-04-03T13:14:27+01:00 2012-05-26T07:30:43+01:00 bestam http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=603

Useful to know, here I declare all my particles with an ImageClass (dunno if there's something else) : locBigSmokeEmiter.addInitializer( new ImageClass( Assets.SMOKE ) );

locBigSmokeEmiter.addInitializer( new ImageClass( Assets.SMOKE ) );]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=557&Focus=1913#Comment_1913 2012-04-19T22:47:05+01:00 2012-05-26T07:30:43+01:00 Richard http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=1

The particles are positioned relative to their registration point. If you define the smoke asset with its registration point in the centre, it should be fine.

OK I found a solution. Just sharing : new ImageClass( Particle, [Assets.ENERGY] ) public class Particle extends Sprite { public function Particle(parImageClass:Class) { const ...

new ImageClass( Particle, [Assets.ENERGY] )

public class Particle extends Sprite {
public function Particle(parImageClass:Class) {
const locBitmap:Bitmap = new parImageClass();
locBitmap.x = -locBitmap.width/2;
locBitmap.y = -locBitmap.height/2;
addChild(locBitmap);
}
}
