How real must it look? If you create it in Flash, it’s always going to lack some of the realism of real fire. The best option would be to create an animated GIF in photoshop and then import it into Flash. I’m not at all sure how to create a fireball exploding in Photoshop… but I know it will be more realistic than the vector alternative of Flash’s environment. ---

why not just import that gif into Flash and use it? Is it a copyright issue? ---

I agree with David, import it into flash… Otherwise someone could create a partical engine that has a fire feel, yet it’ll look synthesized cause its flash (flash is not really made for realistic special effects). ---

A guy I know made a Flash MX version that should be easily adaptable to Flash 5 I think. Let me look for the link for a minute. ---
