Particle Problems

Here's an animation I'm working on of a dragon breathing fire.
I'm really excited about the possibilities of the AS particle system, but so far it seems lacking.

Like in this animation, it's clear that the particles are spawning in two dense bursts, and not as a steady stream. Is there an easy fix for this?

Try lowering the particle rate, lower right corner under spread. Default is around 4, lower to 1. Couldn't get your video link to work so couldn't tell whats happening.

As far as I can tell, "Rate" in AS refers to the rate of acceleration and not to the rate at which particles are emitted. I'd really like to be able to control the emission rate, but I haven't found out how.

Can you post a screen shot of your settings?
