Texture Map for Particle Age?

[Frudel]

Hi,

I'm trying out tyFlow and I am amazed so far. 
I am trying to make a smoketrail for a missile and generate a bunch of planes with a smoke bitmap mapped onto it. I would like to let them fade out based on particle age. In pFlow I would use a map for the particle age but I am not really sure of what would be the best approach to do it in tyFlow? Could anyone help me out?
Much appreciated!

Best regards,
Frudel

anyone have any hints on how to go about this?
