This will be the last post about flags, I swear. I’m not obsessed with them. I’ve been playing with particles recently, looking at the different ways of drawing to the screen as they all have pros and cons in terms of speed, quality and control. I updated the flag code to use draw( ) instead of merge( ) and used some blend modes to improve the shading. On my 3 year old desktop it runs at roughly the same rate as the previous version but I think it looks an awful lot better.
It’s scrappily written but if you want the source code it’s available on the next page.

Dude, the cross-posting to LJ isn't working and is f***ing up friends page view (expanding it to twice its width!).

My bad, it wasn't supposed to cross-post. Sorry!

Do you not provide a download link for this? I tried to rebuild it myself from your code on page 2 but where can I get your net.xerode.util.Maths class?
Thanks.

The missing class just contains some maths stuff that Adobe didn't include in their Math class. The only method used in the flag code is deg2rad, which is just a method for converting degrees to radians.

Hello;
I am somewhat confused as how to get this to work for me. I am having the same problem as "benny", but do not understand your response. I am a php coder, and new to AS3. I really love the flag, it is the best I have seen so far. Thanks!
