About six months ago I made my first particle engine, Emitter 1.0.
Last week I started working on version 2.0.

After an almost sleepless week,
finally I got it finished and working :)

Version 2.0 is quite a big project.
I've made components for it and a thorough SWF manual (still WIP).
Currently, 15 basic and 2 advanced examples are available.
Also, it's fully documented.

project homepage: http://code.google.com/p/emitter
example pack: http://emitter.googlecode.com/files/Emitter%202.0.41%20examples.rar
(advanced examples are in the SVN repository)

WIP manual: http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/%7Eb95901008/bbsfiles/AS3CS4/Emitter/Emitter%202.0%20manual.swf


This is how the point source component parameters look like:

And here are some screenshots of the examples:

Hope you like it :D

Is this only for actionscript 3.0?

Yeah, it's only for AS3.
More precisely, it's only for Flash CS4 and Flex SDK 3.2+
Because it's targeted for Flash Player version 10.

It's a pity, I use AS2 exclusively on CS4.

So do I. I find AS3 very confusing (which means I haven't actually bothered to learn :))

Yeah, it's already version 2.1.
You can check out the milestones and change log in the wiki page section in the Google Code project homepage.
I'll cover more about the new features right after I'm done with the basics.
