Animated texture sequence syncing to particle age

[japetus]

Hey guys just thought I'd chime in here and say I was trying to also do this exact thing and was very stumped for a while. I too started with the example file and followed the steps outlined here. I'm on the free beta still, so maybe it';s a bug with that, but I was able to solve this problem by applying the material directly to the Tyflow object instead of through the operators. Hope this helps someone!
