I am following a tutorial to model a candle. I have gotten to a stage where I have to add particles of flame. One instruction is to press Alt A and it supposed to let me "see the particle flowing from the circle ".
Thing is, I don’t see it happen when I press Alt A. I do i perform this task?

Alt-A is animation preview and is sensitive to the area where your mouse is. Try pressing Alt-A with your mouse over a 3D window.

if you followed what Theeth said and still can’t see anything
try this
start a clean blender
make a circle in top view
get out of edit mode , press tab
switch to front view
F7
effects
new effect
build /particles
at the bottom beside Force click in the “Z” box to give it some up value
cursor in 3d window
alt + A
hope that helps
