Thankfully, I found some time to come back to this project. I had one goal in mind: The concept of a particle system must be as flexible as possible. It could be anything from the flames and steam I created in my previous project to falling snow or even something more complex that involves artificial intelligence and flocking behaviors.

So that's a bit of a memory leak you might want to patch. Besides this I also wonder why you keep a particles array which holds all the particles, since Particle extends Sprite, so is allready managed and accesible through getChildAt and addChild etc. (but perhaps an array is faster access, that would be nice to know).

I made a few minor tweaks here and there to adjust for the changes between Beta 3 and RTM and I added more documentation. Hopefully I'll find some time to do some more experiments with particles soon. [...] [...] The particle system experiments haven’t changed too much.
