Creating Firework

Hi
I am wanting to create a single Firework Rocket.

...
When the Rocket explodes it creates X number of Particles at its coordinates.

I then want each Particle to have their own Angle_ so that they form a perfect circle as they move away from the origin of the Firework.

I know this can be done by running a FastLoop iterating through the Particle Instances, but i cant help to think a better solution exists ( like the way MMF2 is able to pin Childre Objects to Parrent Objects maybe? ).
What would be the best and/or easiest way to achieve something like this?

The Particle Spray Object can help you.

Thanks Marv
But im making the Application in Flash, so i cannot use the PSO.
Im more interested in a solution wich does not require any Extencions if possible.

Make your firework particle a single pixel active with a bouncing ball movement set to all directions.

On rocket explosion run your fastloop to create X particles at rocket's location and set the speed to random whatever. You can also make a few frames of animation of the particle getting darker.

Voila, simple fireworks!

EDIT: Also, set deceleration to around 1/4 of speed for each particle.

If you want a perfect circle, don't set the speed to random, but this just looks better :)

Have you seen my fire example? With some modifications, you could probably use it for fireworks. By the way, anyone interested in me making a particle effect widget?

Nifflas has a pretty cool particle widget here:

Wow thanks guys :)
Ill check this out

Woah!
:O

Check out "Random Implode" ( Particle Blue ) in Nifflas Particle Widget!
Now thats cool stuff
:)

Nifflas is the shizznit! I'm thinking of using Random Implode (with some mods) in my major project. I love the Brown examples too.
