since       SWFIT1.0


if (pcounter < NUM_PARTS)
{

Create a new particle

   pclip = "part_" add pcounter;
   duplicateMovieClip ("part", pclip, pcounter);

Offset the values slightly so that the particles do not become replicas of each other.

Iterate once through Newton's method.

   len = (len + ((px * px + py * py + pz * pz + pq * pq) / len)) / 2;

Set particle pos

   set (pclip add ":px", px);
   set (pclip add ":py", py);
   set (pclip add ":pz", pz);
   set (pclip add ":pq", pq);

Set particle speed

   set (pclip add ":vx", vx);
   set (pclip add ":vy", vy);
   set (pclip add ":vz", vz);
   set (pclip add ":vq", vq);

Seed a value for Newtons method

   set (pclip add ":len", len);

   pcounter++;
}
