I have to create a "puff of smoke" in flash but I have no idea.

I want it too be like "poof'! and something appears - you know what I mean? Like a magician.

Any ideas or tutorails - it's kind of improtant and I cannot figure it out for the life of me!

I've never done it, but here's what I would do... make several rounded polygons that would look like "elements" of smoke... then convert them into movies, and lower their alpha to like 50 or so. Then animate them accordingly. But I haven't done this yet, maybe this helps.

{edit} never mind... alex's link is good.
