This was the cocos 0.3.0 behavior, in current svn trunk that type of
restrictions has been eliminated. You can use the svn version, it is in good
shape.
Also, for an alternative way on smoke, look at the example in
test\test_particle_smoke.py ( in the trunk of svn repo), and the other
particle examples.
Probably you know this, but anyway the svn repo and web interface can be
reached at
