Flash :: Particle Accumulation

Particle Help
I'm trying to uses this tutorial
http://flashmymind.com/Tutorials/Act.../fireworks.php

I put the fireworks in frame 1, but i only want to use it in one frame. so when the swf goes to frame 2 and beyond the fireworks are still showing up. Now i tried to do a removeChild(firework) but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

Particle Effects
Does anyone know how processor intensive 2d particle effects are in flash. If I had 20 particle generators going at once would that bring a computer to its knees or would it be fine.

Thanks for any help.

Particle System
Making... particle... system... hard...
i'm trying to make a sprinkler kind of PS, and compact it all in a neat function, but so far i'm having some major (and not so major problems):

1. in order to move the particles I need to use a -=,+= in an enterframe, right, well i tried mc.onEnterFrame and some more stuff, but nothing seems to work, and open sources I found mostly on gotoAndPlay, which does go with the whole compact function idea, how am I supposed to do this?
2. I want a new spray each time all the particles get removed, which means a need to count the amount of them, but instead of removing 1 from the count, when the first mc gets removed it gets keeps counting down, plus it doesn't spray again.
3. write now the movement is straight and sharp, I guess that to curve it the y should equel x*x, so I tried _y=this.x*this._x, and _y-=this.x*this._x
but everything I tried failed, so how should this be done?

please help... thankz in advance
(I use FMX2004 btw)

Particle Effect - Possible?
Hi All,

Hoping that someone may be able to tell me if this effect is possible in flash?

If you download the attached file you will see a particle effect on the text as it moves to a keyline.

Is there any way of replicating this effect in flash or any third party softwarte that is compatible with flash?

I think it looks fantastic, does anyone have any ideas on how it can be done please?

Particle Effect?
Hi All,

Does anyone know how I can create a particle effect on type without having monstrous file sizes and processor times?

So the type looks as if it is breaking up and swarming away to create more text elsewhere? does that make sense?

I've the exact effect on http://www.renascent.nl/motion.htm in the movie titled progressive/retrograde the way the type breaks and becomes more text/shape.

Be grateful for any suggestions

Particle Movement... Down To Up?
Hey all...
I downloaded an example file here from flashkit in which snow falls. I was wondering how I might modify the below code to make the snow "rise" instead of "fall"? thanks!

onClipEvent (load) {
count = 0;
mystart = Math.round(Math.random()*100);
radius = Math.round(Math.random()*20);
thecenter = Math.round(Math.random()*20);
center = this._x-thecenter;
degrees = 0;
fall = 3+Math.round(Math.random()*3);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (count != mystart) {
count = count+1;
}
if (count == mystart) {
_root.snow._alpha = 100;
angle = degrees*(Math.PI/180);
degrees = degrees+fall;
xposition = radius*Math.cos(angle);
zposition = radius*Math.sin(angle);
this._x = xposition+center;
_y = _y+fall;
if (_y>=Stage.height) {
_y = -10;
}
if (_x>=Stage.width) {
_y = -10;
x = Math.round(Math.random()*Stage.width);
}
if (_x<=0) {
_y = -10;
x = Math.round(Math.random()*Stage.width);
}
}
}

Particle Trail
Hi,

I'm making an animation where I need to have a sparkly trail following an object. At first I was animating it, but I realised it would probably look and run better using actionscripted sparkles...

I've looked for various tutorials and found this one (attached) which looks pretty much the way I want my sparkles to look, but it trails the mouse.
Is it possible to change this script to make the sparkles follow a movie clip intance instead of the mouse position and still keep the nice trail effects?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Particle Troubles
Hi intelligent people, wonder if u can help with a few questions that i have, im using flash cs3:-

1) If i insert a new symbol into my library and call it symbol1 and link to it via actionscript with the following code:-

var anything:Sprite=new symbol1();

Does this make it a sprite even though in the properties of symbol1/base class it says "flash.display.MovieClip" or would i need to change symbol1/base class to "flash.display.Sprite"

2) The following code gives an error saying "
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property custom on flash.display.Shape." this also returns the same error if u change the code from shape to sprite but if you was to link a sprite from the library it will not complain that you have added custom properties.

Can someone please,please throw light on this subject thank you very much in advance.

// smoke
private function smoke(xp:Number,yp:Number):void {
var shape:Shape=new Shape();
shape.graphics.beginFill(0x999999,0.2);
shape.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,(Math.random()*1)+0. 5);
shape.graphics.endFill();
shape.x=xp;
shape.y=yp;
shape.custom=1; // <<<<<<<<
smokecontainer.addChild(shape);
smokearray.unshift(shape);
}

Particle Animation
hello,

i',m trying to use the code below to move multiple dots across the stage at different speeds. the problem is flash seems to prevent each dynamic clip from executing the animation. dot1, dot2, dot... dot 20.

the clip is duplicated 20 times but they all appear moving in the same spot on the screen. they seem to ignor the ._x += code in effort to move each individual clip across the scree.

also, all code on one frame NOT two.

enterFrame = fmultidot();
function fmultidot(){
count=1;
while (count<20){
vpath = eval(this._target);
trace(vpath);
vpath.dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+count,count);
vpath["dot"+count]._rotation, _rotation +(Math.random())*20;

vpath["dot"+count]._x = Math.random()*500;

vpath["dot"+count]._y = Math.random()*100;
vpath["dot"+count]._xscale = Math.random()*100;
vpath["dot"+count]._yscale = Math.random()*100;
vpath["dot"+count]._alpha = Math.random()*100;
count+=1;
}
}

Particle Effects Help...
I need to make a particle effect like this one,
http://img111.imageshack.us/my.php?image=helpgs8.swf

I made it with out Actionscript. I want to make something like this with Actionscript. Also, I would like it to have many more particles and I need it to stop producing particles at a certian point.

The particles would have to have random starting locations in a specified area, and move to the center at random speeds.

I know...think, I should say, that this is a big favor to ask, but I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help. I understand if not. XD

I have a VERY basic understanding of Actionscript. Here's a screen of the stage if it helps. Thanks in advance for any amount of help,

Particle Wall
Good evening all!

I recently got a book from the local library entitled "Programming Macromedia Flash MX" by Robert Penner, and have been trying to replicate an example that he gave regarding a 3d vector "particle" wall. As I'm trying to learn AS 2.0, I did my best to convert his given script into working .as files. I've gotten most of it to work, however, as I move my cursor along the y-axis on the screen, the object shrinks in size. I've sat here for hours, trying to figure out what stupid lil' thing I've overlooked, but with no success. Could one of you fine fine souls :-) aid me in my education? It appears as though there's some error in the calculation of my "z" variable, or perhaps object scaling? Here's a link to the guilty swf:

http://tylerparkersounds.com/flash/wall.swf

In addition, here are the 3 .as files and the .fla:

http://tylerparkersounds.com/wall_files.rar

I warn you, however, the code form in these class definition files is god awful, and very minimal as, once again, I'm trying to learn the concepts and just threw up the bare bones to get the example working. :-)

For anyone kind enough to shed some light, I'd greatly appreciate your time and effort.

AS3 Particle Emitter
Hey everyone,

I'm trying to create a particle/sprite emitter in AS3. I started out basic to make something to make 50 copies of a pre-defined movieclip (In this case FireParticle) but I'm not sure what is going wrong with my code.

Flash does not report back any errors at all when I run the code, however I also cannot see anything in the screen when I run it. Both the .fla and the .as have the filename EmitterTest. Please help!

ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

public class EmitterTest extends MovieClip {
public function fire() {
var firearray:Array = new Array();
var Particle_Holder:MovieClip = new MovieClip;
addChild(Particle_Holder);
var i:int;
for (i=0;i<50;i++); {
firearray.push (new FireParticle());
Particle_Holder.addChild(firearray[i]);
Particle_Holder.y = 350;
Particle_Holder.x = Math.floor(Math.random()*60+(stage.stageWidth/2-30));
}
}
}
}

Thanks in advance,

Particle Effects/ AS
I have an AS which produces a particle effect. The code works fine with a single mc, but I'd like to add another mc. So, I duplicated the symbol, renamed it and added another code. The first one still works fine, but the second doesn't produce any results. Any ideas? Codes below:

Attach Code

Code 1
i = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
i++;
circle.duplicateMovieClip(_root.circle+i, i, {_alpha:100, _rotation:random(360)});

};

Code 2
j = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
j++;
circleb.duplicateMovieClip(_root.circleb+j,j,{_alpha:100, _rotation:random(360)});

};

hey,
I have been working on a particle class to improve my skills at actionscript. I have alot in my mind on what it will do but so far i have kinda the basics and yesterday I got the colors to work also. And decided to try to make a fire effect with it. Using 2 particle objects here what i came up with.
http://img497.imageshack.us/my.php?i...cletest4gn.swf

I also made a snow effect with it which ill upload later and show yall.
And thanks everyone who helped me solve my actionscript problems such as color blending and stuff.

Other features i am working on is making deflector objects, making so u can set bounderies, make other objects attract it like force and gravity. And also so you can apply any filter effect you want to the particles which i am guessing is going to make it lag.

Particle Trouble
I'm trying to create some simple particle effects here. When the animation in the particle has finished in each particle would like to remove it or replace with new ones. Maybe I need to add actionscript to the end of the timeline (of the particle)?

Not sure what script would be. something like _root.function particles(remove). I don't know , that was probably a bad guess and extremely sloppy syntax.

var i:Number = 1;
setInterval(particles, 120);

function particles() {
if (i < 50) {
var myClip:MovieClip = mytarget.attachMovie("anim", "anim"+ i, i);
myClip._x = random(mytarget._width - myClip._width);
myClip._y = random(mytarget._height - myClip._height);
i++;
//myClip.blendMode = invert;
setInterval(particles);
}
else if (i > 0) {
i--;
yourMessage.removeMovieClip();

}
};

Particle Effect In AS3 ?
Attached is the .fla for an old school AS1 particle effect.

It uses duplicateMovie and removeMovieClip to create the particle.

I am a complete newb and cannot figure out how to update this effect.

I know to use addChild and removeChild, but I could not figure out how to get an event listener to removeChild at the end of the guided tween, if that makes sense??

Using Bit101 Particle
I'm using Bit 101 particle to simulate a woodpecker chipping away at stuff.

(here the link to the particle class - http://www.bit-101.com/Particles/)

Here is the flash file: http://www.jamesrhodes.co.uk/example.fla

If you hover over the menu the bird appears. There is a movieclip that is attached to the cursor on the main stage.

Basically the action of attaching the particles slows the animation of the bird pecking too much. If I disable the particles it speeds back up.

Is there a way to speed up the pecking and have the chips appearing at the same time.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

I have created the particle emitter below, but the particles last forever.
How can I remove each particle after it has existed a certain amount of time? (eg. 3secs)

Code:
var particleArray:Array = new Array();
var maxParticles:Number = 10;

for (var i:int = 0;i < 20;i++) {
addParticle();
}

function addParticle() {
var dot:Particle = new Particle();
dot.x = hero.mc.x;
dot.y = hero.mc.y-15;
dot.alpha = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
dot.scaleX = dot.scaleY = Math.random() * .8 + .2;
var xMovement:Number = Math.random() * 8 - 4;
var yMovement:Number = Math.random() * 8 - 4;
particleArray.push(dot);
gamelevel.addChild(dot);

if (particleArray.length >= maxParticles) {
gamelevel.removeChild(particleArray.shift());
}

dot.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveParticle);

function moveParticle()
{
dot.x += xMovement;
dot.y += yMovement;
}

}

I've been seeking a potential particle system solution that works Flash 6/7. I've come across a few ideas (mostly in Flash 8) that don't quite work for me.

Actionscript: Particle Effect
hi

I have a Flash cascading particle effect happening on www.red-media-design.com using the actionscript below. The script is adapted from a friendsofed movie (Flash Maths Creativity).

My problem is that when the movie is first viewed on IE, the cascade commences in the bottom left of the movie - rather than in the center of the movie. This doesn't happen in Firefox or Netscape - or when refershing the movie in IE.

Any ideas on an IE fix - making the particles appear in the centre of the movie when first loading in IE?

Grateful for any help.

Problems With Particle Animation
I'm creating an animation where the user can drag charged particles to a ruler...if they're the same sign, they repel each other...if opposite signs, they attract each other...
Here's a list of things I want to have happen but am having problems with....
1. Particles pause for a second before beginning movement
2. Particles stop moving when they come in contact with each other
3. Particles delete themselves after a few seconds of contact
4. Particles delete themselves when they run off stage

Particle Effect Question
Hi guys,
I have some pretty good code I found for a particle effect which is:
Code:
for (p=0; p<5; p++) {
ring.duplicateMovieClip("ring"+p,p,"ring"+p);
setProperty("ring"+p, _x, 5+random(38));
setProperty("ring"+p, _y, 5+random(32));
setProperty("ring"+p, _alpha, 50+random(50));
}
However, the problem I'm having is that the placement of the duplicated clips is randomized upon the first placement, however the duplicated clips stay at the same coordinates, even after they start to loop.

I assume this is because the duplicated clips aren't being removed / unloaded at the end of the loop. So within the movie clip, at the end of the movie clip's timeline I have this code:

Code:
removeMovieClip(this._parent);
This is valid isn't it? Any ideas?

Thanks!
Jason

I have found various ways of producing a "snow-like" effect, but am stumped on figuring out a way to generate an effect of snow accumulating on objects. Thoughts anyone?
