That sounds kinda like exactly what I was doing. Why don't you try it? I don't think it's working right. Make a nice fire particle in Meshwork and I will...
Jeff (Quan) is right, there is no bug here. From the Meshwork manual: Under the texture map image are two tabs labelled "Image" and "Alpha". These let you...
