Hello Dear Flashcoders,
I am trying to create a particle system in AS3 in flex builder 2.
so my structure is like this: I do have a main class of the program,
I do have Circle class and I do have CircleManager class which
handles all initialization and declarations about circle objects.
What I am having difficulty is the rendering process.
Before adding this CircleManager class, the way I created Circle
class was to extend Shape class and use it according to my needs and
then in the main class I could able to add it like;
// main class
var c:Circle = new Circle();
c.draw();
addchild(c);
but since I added my CircleManager class and even I did the changes I
was supposed to do, I think I am still missing something since I
don't see anything on the screen. What I did was I create a
CircleManager class and move all declarations of circle to here. for
my main I changed it like below:
// main class
var c:CircleManager = new CircleManager();
c.draw();
addchild(c);
This first gave me error and it made sense. I forgot to extend my
CircleManager class with sprite or shape in order to be able to use
it with addChild. So I went ahead and added extend Shape to my
CircleManager class. It corrected the error but when I ran this I
don't see anything on the screen. When I debug the code I can trace
the x,y values for Circles. So my questions:
Should I still be adding all the circle objects with addchild()
method in order to render them on the screen? Isn't there a way to
just add my CircleManager and let it do the job? Should I make Circle
subclass of CircleManager in order to do it? I am looking forward to
your advices.
best,
ilteris
