Would anyone know how to make it appear as if fire is moving and dancing? It would be a real cool effect to have, but I just have no clue how I would do it. Thanks.

well, I guess a better question would be how to make the flames move realistically, as opposed to how to just make them move =) If I just use a tween, it will look corny as all hell.
