The popularity of Flash Particle Engines have risen over the last six months and for good reason.  Being able to create light dynamic effects during runtime has been a long awaited toolset many Flash users could only dream off.  Flashloaded has joined the cause by releasing a new tool called Partigen.

What is Partigen?

Partigen is a real time Flash engine capable of creating realistic effects such as smoke and explosions. Every single particle is made within Flash at runtime with zero render time. Partigen includes the engine, the emitter and the particles, which are fully customizable at design and runtime. Includes over 80 built-in effects.

This set of flash particles has an impressive variation of particle effects. Flash particle effects include snow,fireworks, sparklers, fire, smoke, and much more.  Flint is an open-source project to create a versatile particle system in Actionscript 3.0.  Flint is developed by Big Room ventures Ltd. and is released under the MIT open source licence.

The source and example script can be downloaded at flintparticles.org. Documentation is also available. Check it out and enjoy!

Here are a few examples of Flint 1.0 at work:
