change the ArrowBurster

[Julio Rodriguez]

Is it possible to change the *particle of an emitter ?

I start with this:
addInitializer(new DisplayObjectClass(Arrow3));

The a little later I want this (via timer):
addInitializer(new DisplayObjectClass(Arrow4));

TIA!

Yes, you can do that.
You just have to keep a reference to the DisplayObjectClass object,
and change it's displayObjectClass property later on in your program.

great, thanks for the quick response!
Awesome library!!!

One more question...
How can pause & play the emitter?

[Allen Chou]

Stop calling the Emitter.step method and it will be paused.

[Julio Rodriguez]

thanks. I tried that. But it gives an odd behavior...

After waiting a couple of seconds, I call:
allowBurst = true
///
if (allowBurst) {
 emitter.step();
}


But when it starts, the first few particles come out weird (like not in perfect sequence with other particles).

I've managed a workaround --- wait to setup/start the particle. Instead of starting and pausing the particles.

thanks Allen!
