Simple way to generate smoke effect?

[Nick Harambee]

Is flash the only way to go for creating a movie file with a transparent background, with a small file size that can be overlaid on other content in a webpage?

Essentially all I am trying to do is to get some smoke coming out of a tube (static PNG image).

I haven’t had any reply from the folks over in the flash forum. I am presuming it must be possible to achieve the effect I am looking for, otherwise people on this forum wouldn’t have put the time into helping me. Any other suggestions as to what I can try to get this working?

Thanks

Nick
