Hey guys (especially those with great AS capabilities - you know who you are!) I need some help with making a realistic flame in Flash MX. I have done a search on the site here and came up with a link to this site [http://www.flashcircle.com/display.php?storyid=57](http://www.flashcircle.com/display.php?storyid=57) I followed the tutorial as close as I could and still my flame came out looking kind of…well not right. I was wondering if someone had the time to look over my fla (which I have attached) and can help me fix it so it looks like the on from the tutorial page I linked above. Thanks very much in advance! ---

There’s a problem with your fill. It’s a radial fill all right, but the outer color’s alpha has to be set to 0. ---

Thank you so very much! That is much better 🙂 You are very fast! So what do you mean by changing the code? I know it’s from flash 5, how could it be made better with MX? Remember - I am an AS IDIOT! so please, be gentle 🙂 ---

Yup - I used Swift 3d to do it… it’s pretty simple really! and it makes some pretty cool effects. The program has a TON of possibility but I am afraid I am too stupid to figure it out 🙂 ---
