The key to making fire animations is be sure your flames are quick and they have some transparency to them (say 50-70%).

where do you modify the transparency, and can someone explain morphing to me if it applies.

I want to creat a burning bush effect.I want to see the bush through the flame, so I want to make the flame more transparent. I got the fire out of the fire place and scaled it larger. I will copy it over to a new .fun file. and save as fire. and wait for some ideas

On Koolface there is a fun file called "Flaming Bible"

It is in the "Misc Animation" section.

I have a flame animation. Just download it and study it. This animation is generic, but you get a basic idea.

On your flame, you are going to want to move the flames a lot more then I did.

But use the "fire place" flames instead.

The transparency can be set in the Color Properties window. It's the fourth box on the left (under the blue box)

Double click on flame object, then select the "Color/Fill" option in the properties box. That's where the color settings take place.

Hope that helps

Hello guys,

This is something I did a while ago..

http://www.oldswaninn.com/flash/inside.html

I wanted to recreate a warm felling by having moving flames.

One way that I have done this is to draw the flames on one frame and then change how the flames look on the next frame and so on and so on. Using 1 or 2 tweens etc. (all depends on the ferocity wish the fire to burn).

This is something I need to spend time on to make it completely realistic...

I know it will be time consuming.
