        I wanted to have a scene where a object goes across the screen shooting
flares. I want to have the flare leave the front of the object at a midway
frame.I made a second lamp and turned on the flare option. I thought that if I
imbedded the light in the object and set the light intensity envelope to 0% up
to the time I wanted the light to be visible shooting forward out of the
object, it would be invisible up to that moment. However, I still see the light
in the scene prior to the desired scene. How can I make the light visible
only at a later frame? Do I have to set the point light to flare to be able to
see it? Is there a way to add an object to a scene many frames from the begin-
ing without have a zero frame?

        Thanks in advance for any advance.
