  You are having the same problem practically everybody new to Imagine has. 
 In the stage editor, it would be intuitive to assume Save Changes saves all 
changes.  It does not.  If you move your plane object, you have to use the 
Save Position or if you change the alignment, you have to use Save 
Alignment, while the object is selected.  Also, you will still have to have 
a Light Source in the Stage even if your object is a light source.  As for 
your camera, it sounds like you somehow deleted it.  The docs for the Lens 
flare effect are on the disk.

I'm new to this 3d stuff, but i got imagine 2.0 on the amiga format
coverdisk and immediately fell in love with it... I sent the 95 pounds for
the upgrade and am now the proud owner of version 3.... ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!

I create a flat plane from the primitives, make it a light source, Arrange

the z axis so that it is at right angles to the object,make sure the object
is in the camera view,go to the action editor select the fx1 bar for the
plane object,select lensflar, save changes, back to the stage editor,

CAN'T FIND CAMERA.... what the hell does this mean, the plane object
i wanted as a lensflare has disapeared,.

Look in the manual, I can't find one reference to either haze or lensflare
in the manual, especialy the effects section where i would presume them to 
be

i've tried everything i can think of, depth of field, moving the camera
point blank in front of the plane......

THIS IS BUGGING THE HELL OUT OF ME..... I WANT LENSFLARES !!!!!

if anyone has successfully got lensflare working please let me know as this
is really irritating..
