Never mind. Has more to do with me too retarded to know how to use the code base with flash instead of flex. I’m not a flex guy – foo.

Hi Martin,

Great example! Been playing with the source and I’ve run into a snag getting it to work: I’m only seeing one iteration in the object cloud. I’ve traced the issue to the ‘nextTry’ timer event handler in AbstractStraightPositionAlogrithm.as. Specifically:

if ( _currentSetNo == 0 )
{
currentShape = _currentShapeSet.shape;
nextChild();
}

_currentSetNo is only 0 at the first timer event. Afterwards it’s been incremented to 1, therefor nextChild() is never called.

Any thoughts? I’ve only now just begun playing with it, so maybe I’m missing something obvious.

Thanks,
Larry
