Description
Full view or my new tonberry buddy will doink you!ok well I was asked in #flashers (the coolest of all chatrooms) to make a particle engine thing for smoke so I quickly threw one together for them. this is a little different but not by much, its really a modded version of my flash sparkler ([link] ) but it makes liek smoke instead of sparkles.
warning, if your name is ~Hiroko222 then you should know by now particles are bad for you so if you want to stay alive dont full view
to everyone else this should work fine but may be a laal bit jerky if you have a slow computer
also look everybody, I submitted a flash even though I have stuff do do in FFXI
Edit:- added a button so you can set particle count and a few other options...
Edit2:- now the options dont reset every time you change them

cool effect but does having a chicken in my pants do anything? I mean, there is on... oh, it's a joke aint it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, that actually does affect the number of chickens in my pants, but there is a glitch and it also seems to have an effect on the ratio of penguins to lions in my back pocket also... I'm gonna have to look through the code to see why its happenning, if somebody intered the wornd number of chickens it could crash their pc... and my pants

must be the bird flu that causes this glitch

perhaps, it also looks like solar wind and the amount of down on ducks in japan has an effect too... hmmm, tricky debug this one =/

Looks very realistic! 
Did you use that bitmap class?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
naw, just regular vector mc's
I really should look at the bitmap class though....
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
In this case cacheAsBitmap would slow it down considerably.
The clips are changing size and alpha. Every time they change size or alpha flash has to render them out as a vector, then convert the vector representation to a bitmap.
Cache as bitmap works best when you have many objects on the screen that are moving but not changing size, rotation, or alpha.

ahhh, thanks alot
well I can allready thin of uses for the cacheasbitmap then

Me too. People have been doing some awesome stuff with it. It looks complicated, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yah, like photoshop filters coded in flash, it kinda scares me a little
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very nice, albiet slow. Do you have it remove the clips as they turn fully transparent?
