I want to make a bunch of animated fire with panopticum fire 3.0.

I have created lots of duplicate layers. I select each layer, then go up to "filter" then down to the Fire 3.o and select it, that brings up a dialoge box with my fire options. In that box, I need to assure that I change the "frame" number each time I run the filter, moving it up one digit each run of the time in order to ensure a subltle change overall ensuring "animation."

Can I make an action that will do this for me? It would be wonderful if I could set in a number of layers that I want to have flame created on, having the filter run on each layer, each time adjusting up the "frame" number. Actions are a new thing to me and I’d love to know what the possibilities are.

After this, there is another action I would love to create. One that would distribute or save out all layers into their own docoment. I found one that I downloaded, but it makes me rename each new docoment, something I would like to automate.
