Particle class

This is a very simple particle class. The technique is not hard to understand but still powerfull. A particle will be created using a BitmapData object. You have to use a greyscale image for the texture because after creating the particle you are able to assign a color. This class is used in the BitmapFire and BitmapParticles experiments.

Simple example:
[as]import de.je2050.effect.Particle;

var particle: Particle = new Particle(this.createEmptyMovieClip(‘__p’, 1), BitmapData.loadBitmap(‘texture’));
particle.setColor(1 , 0, 1);
particle.timeline._x = particle.timeline._y = 200;[/as]
