   Hi,
   
   How hard would that be to create dust particles?
   
   What I would like to do is simulate the dust effect you get when you drop something on a dusty floor.
   
   Thanks,

   You can either use a pixel renderer to draw lots of single dots for the particles, or use faint overlapping circles to create a cloud of dust, as in the smoke example. You'll have to play around with the particle motion to get a realistic effect - I would guess high initial speed and high drag to slow them down. The only real problem is how large you want the effect - actionscript 3 is fast but still not fast enough for some effects.
