Smoke:
Step 1:
I made a circle and put a radial gradient on it (this is a movieclip symbol)

Step 2:
I motiontweened it over the coarse of one second (thirty frames) and on the last frame; set the alpha to zero so it would do a fadeout effect.
Step 3:
I made the motiontween its own symbol and put this code in it:
onClipEvent(load){
var movement = Math.random(-5)*5;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x += movement;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_y -= 5;
}
This code makes it move in a somewhat random direction leaning towards an upper-right diagonal direction.
Step 4:
I extended the frame to 59 frames and then duplicated the layer 30 times. Then I offset the layers so that they were each one frame apart.

Step 5:
I made some layers specifically for actionscript and put some gotoAndPlay functions all over the place. The end result looked like this:
