Pixel particles

For a recent project there was a need for lots of particles, in flashplayer 10. Here´s some of the experimentation that came out of that. There are no preloaders, so just wait for something to show(some are quite heavy).

2x pixels, heightmap/colormap
2x pixels, heightmap/colormap shapes
1x pixels, heightmap 200x200px
1x pixels, heightmap 300x300px
1x pixels, heightmap 400x400px
1x pixels, 3d teapot 50k
1x pixels, 3d teapot 100k
1x pixels, 3d teapot 200k
1x pixels, morph A (click anywhere to morph)
1x pixels, morph B (click anywhere to morph)
1x pixels, morph C (click anywhere to morph)

Lesson learned is that linked lists are way faster than arrays.. ;)

smooth without hardware acceleration, but it take a lot of memory.

  Regarding the memory useage, the heightmap tests uses png-sequences for the heigtmaps so that eats some memory in those cases.

I’ve done something similar here: http://wonderfl.net/c/3G3j, with linked list too, tough with less efficiency. Any tips how You implemented the transition?
