Hey realsnake, can I ask you something about that fire file you posted?

(Tell me if I understand this correctly)
The fire shape has noise on the points, which gives you the movement.
It looks like you have a loop in there? I haven't seen that red arrow before,
I take it that's an indicator for the loop? Where do I find that? :oops:

Also is there any reason why the fire is on a switch layer?
There is only one vector layer in the switch folder.
Is it because switch layers give you some kind of
functionality which you have used here?

Edit: whoah, AND noisy lines and fills. I get that part.

Edit #2: Aaaaah, cycle frames?
I'm slow, that's me you guys can see waddling along
half a block behind the bus. I'm sweating and struggling,
but I'm still catching up...

I used Switch layer because i was thinking of making it Frame by Frame animation, for more random movement.
