hey there!

i am looking for a way to create a lens flare in cs5 on an alpha channel. i tried creating a small white circle and then putting several glows on it but it is really looking cheesy…

i also tried doing it in photoshop but was not able to figure out way to make a lense flare on an alpha, save as png and then bring it into flash without it having black edges.

any ideas?
