In this FlashR CS5 tutorial we will create a candle flame animation. We will use a flame graphic that we created in a PhotoshopR tutorial. See the link at the bottom of the page. In the Photoshop tutorial, the flame graphic contains three transparent layers. One layer contains the flame shape, another layer contains the orange glow and a third layer contains a smaller white glow. By animating all three of these parts separately we can create a realistic animation. Once we have created the animation, you will be able to use it in any Flash project. To keep the animation reusable for various candles, you may wish to omit adding the candle graphic.
