Flint is an ActionScript 3 particle engine designed for creating rich particle effects in Flash and Flex applications, providing tools for animations like fire, smoke, and explosions. This first tutorial will introduce the basics of Flint through a project to create a snow effect. Our effect will be snow flakes drifting down the screen. Each snow flake will be a particle in our particle system. If you want to see the final effect, scroll to the bottom of the page. This tutorial works with version 4.0.0 of the Flint library. This example creates a 2D particle effect. For 3D particle effects the principles are the same but you use a 3D emitter and 3D behaviours. ...

...This is just a rough starting point to create GPU accelerated pixel bender transition effects for flex components, although currently just using the sample twirl effect shipped with pixel bender this could be used to create effects like the stretch/warp effect applications do on mac when minimized/maximized. Note; most parameters are set randomly each time the effect starts so has little configurability besides duration, although very short durations (50-75ms) can produce far more subtle glitches, while longer durations (2000ms+) can look more abstract or maybe 'magical'.
