Property detail
multiplierproperty
public var multiplier:Number

The multiplier of aging, 1 by default.

For instance, a multiplier value of 2 causes a particle to age twice as fast as normal.

Alternatively, you can assign a negative value to the multiplier. This causes a particle's age to "increase". You can then use this increasing value with LifeTrigger and other custom actions to create various effects.
