Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from .swfgeek !!!

If you happen to celebrate this holidays ( or not ) I wish you the best with your families and friends, 2008 was a year full of new stuff for me, new job, new city, new friends it was a good year overall and hope 2009 gets just as much exiting as 2008 was, I plan to add more examples and tutorials on this site just entering the year so keep tuned in ( any topic suggestions for the examples and tutorials are welcome).
( By the way the swf above is using the great Flint Particles Library ( Version 2.0 ) by Richard Lord ) if you haven’t, go check it at http://flintparticles.org/

My best wishes to you all and thanks for reading.

Flint Actionscript 3 Particle System Example

.swfgeek Logo Particles

Richard Lord has recently released the Version 0.9.4 of Flint.

I made this example using Flint particle system is an Actionscript 3.0 Open Source project with the aim of create a library that handles the common functionality for all particle systems. To see it work just click anywhere on stage and it will make a nice Firework out of my “Logo”

I just tried it myself and i must say it’s super easy to use and to extend. You can find Flint source on the google code page of Flint with working examples in the downloads section there’s also some very good examples and tutorials on Flint Particle System Site and you can keep track of Richard on his blog.

The latest version comes packed with all kind of particles goodies like:

* Access all properties in Actions, Initializers, Counters and Activities so they can be modified while the emitter is running.
* AlphaInit initializer sets the initial alpha value for all particles
* ImageClasses and SharedImages initializers set the particle image to one selected from a group, with weighting to adjust the selection
* MouseExplosion action pushes particles away from the mouse
* MouseGravity action pulls particles towards the mouse
* TurnAwayFromMouse action causes particles to turn away from the mouse
* GreyscaleZone uses a greyscale image to define a zone, with weighting based on the luminence of each pixel
* Pulse counter emits particles in regular bursts
* PerformanceAdjusted counter adjusts the rate of particle emission if the frame-rate drops
* TwoWay energyEasing functions have an energy peak half-way through the particle’s lifetime

Heres the link to my example using Flint, and Flex 3 as much as I would love to add the code right below my post the IG Syntax HighLighter seems to not be getting very well with the latest update of wordpress so to get the code just right click on my example and it will take you there.

Update you can now view the code right here:
