override public function update(emitter:Emitter, particle:Particle, time:Number):void
{
    if(this.exceptions.indexOf(particle.image) >= 0)
    {
        return;
    }
    super.update(emitter, particle, time);
}

The emitter tells MoveWithExceptions to update a particle, but if the particle being updated is in the exceptions list, the update() function just returns without doing anything.

Great work! I’m currently experimenting with Flint and have run into a problem with isolating a single particle when the mouse rolls over it. I checked out your source code and noticed that MoveWithExceptions simply places the particle into an array to isolate it, then removes it from the array to place it back into the fray, but I’m not clear on how it removes that from the effects of the emitter.

What am I missing in this picture? Any insight you can give me is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

One question if I may. Why do your VOs (Artist.as and Message.as) extend from EventDispatcher if they don’t dispatch any events? Thank you!

Thx for the cool app !
I’ve got a technical question for ya.
How did you make those small circles in which an avatar resides ?
Did you make a custom component for it by Sprite or UIComponent ?
or swf ? or something else ???

thanks in advance

I am glad to hear that you gave Mate a try,
