» *Thom says:*~ I wonder if you could do that by applying a cloud 
texture to the lamp, then animating that. You might need to adjust the 
colors in the texture's buttons, then see if the animation could be done 
on the lamp buttons. I could test it, and get back to you.

PS: Are you using the particle generator for the flame? You might go to 
Materials and gain up the emitter as well. Then on the "Map To" click 
"Emit" once or twice.

PPS: Just checked, you could do it by animating the materials attached 
to the lamp (use keyI to lock size and\or offset) then just set the lamp 
to sphere and adjust its size. Hope that helps.
