AS3 Particle Effects — Now 1000% Extra Free! is a recording of the live presentation given by Seb-Lee Delisle at the Flashforward 2007 conference in Boston. Please note that since this presentation was recorded live, the audio and video quality may vary from our regular course offerings.

Session Description: Creating a particle system may sound scary, but it’s not rocket science. With some very simple programming, you can produce a variety of effects, including smoke, explosions, bubbles, and even fire. In this updated version of Seb Lee-Delisle’s popular presentation, these simple programming techniques and the basics of physics will be covered in a very clear and easy-to-understand way. Plus, our code has been converted to ActionScript 3. This gives us ten times as many particles as version 2 — that’s 1000% extra!
