Experiment: More AS3 Particles
Hey all. Whilst I patiently await divine Flash inspiration, I’ve decided to revisit the ye olde AS3 particle engine. I’ve now been working with AS3 consistently for just over a month, so my understanding of it and it’s beauty has advanced somewhat.
Back in the AS2 days (oh how I’m glad they’re behind me… touch wood) my general architecture methodology revolved around managing MovieClip depths. With AS3 and the Display List paradigm, things have changed dramatically and coding life is pretty sweet; we get to think more about the problem/implementation and less about the tools.
The following demo and source show a more refined approach than the previous attempts will hopefully give you a good indication of what Flash can handle across different browsers.
