- discussion topic fillRect bitmapData
- Comment No, but there should be. I've added a property (bitmapData) to the renderer so you can access the bitmapData object directly - this is in the svn repository. Alternatively, if you remove the blur filter from the renderer and do one more update cycle, all the blurred particles will be removed.

- discussion topic Can particles appear randomly and then fly into position?
- Comment If you use the getLocation method of a bitmap zone, it will return a point within the bitmap image. You can target this point in some way - using TweenPosition, TurnTowardsPoint or a GravityWell for example - and thus have the particle move towards this point. With a custom action based on the ...

- Comment The createRectangleParticlesFromBitmapData method breaks an image into many small particles. These particles are then open to influence by any of the Actions in Flint - e.g. apply acceleration to have them drop to the ground, apply a jet to whisk them off the screen - it just depends on your ...

Otherwise the collision radius is set to 1 by default and does not behave properly. This does assume that width and height is the ...

When using the original papervision 2.0 beta the particle material objects aren't garbage collected and memory use steadily increases. When using the ...

Alternatively, you could animate the renderer - it's a little unconventional but would work. The renderer is a Sprite, so it exists on the display list. ...
