Thought Will Rise

This is Like the Random delegate example but this time I am drawing a bunch of clips. Fuse manages things quite well. Published to Flash 8 it manages to deal with 100 clips moving at the same time randomly. The time is random too, 20 that means 200 instances of fuse animating 100 clips at the same time and there isn?t even a hiccup on my laptop. Rather impressive.

UPDATED 03-12-07: This example has been updated to the latest version of Fuse 2.

=============================================================================
EXPLANATION:
Load in the Fuse and Delegate Classes.
Register FuseItem for object syntax and Penner’s easing equations.
Create a fuse instance to animate all the clips (this.animator).
Loop through and create a bunch of boxes assigning them a random x and y position.
Use delegate to change the scope of the method call to get a new random spot.
Wrap the tween in a method so it can be called easily.
Add the clips to the animator >> this.animator.push({scope:b, func:b.tweenIt, delay:.02});
Add a start command to the fuse instance so that it loops.
this.animator.push({command:”start”});
