I've found that when trying to manipulate the AXP-box for VAPOR or FLAME (ie copy, scale, etc), the best way to do it is to go into the keyframer and create a dummy. Link the AXP-box to the dummy. Do whatever you want TO the dummy (move, scale, etc), and then make a SNAPSHOT of the AXP-box. I had a problem trying to use the TORCH2 example file — I just needed to scale it down some — nothing else (it was for a still, so the included animation it was set up with made no difference to me. I tried EVERYTHING, and as long as I used the SPECIAL mapping button and material I had NO luck — until I tried this dummy-method. Dave
