Comments on: Pulse Particles + BitmapData

After copying “spark.png” to the library in Flash CS3, I substituted the
[Embed(source="example_assets/spark.png")] statement (first example) with
” spark = getDefinitionByName(“SparkB”) as Class; “,
where “SparkB” is the linkage class name. Every attempt to import “spark.png” (as a Bitmap or MovieClip) is rejected by the SimpleParticles.configureEmitterByObject function which cannot convert the image to a Bitmap. What am I doing wrong ?

You can totally control it using AS3 if you prefer. There’s 2 interfaces you could use to do that, a full object orientated syntax that gives you access to everything, or a “quick” syntax using the SimpleParticles class that lets you copy and paste config strings from the particle explorer

The Flash component is really for non-developers.

Cool package marc! Is this particle system dependent on a component being in the library, or can it be entirely imported & controlled via AS3?
