How to change direction of flame effect?

I want to animate a rocket ship in my presentation so that it launches out of the top of the slide. I thought that I could use the flame effect on an object combined with a move but I don't see any way I can change the direction of the flame so that it is going down. I know I could do this with video or something but just wondered if there is a way to change the direction of the flame effect.

Thanks!

I thought perhaps of having the rocket fly downward, record as movie, then paste it back in, that all works except— I can't seem to figure how to have the rocket move (action) and the flame (transition) happen simultaneously.

In Adobe After Effects I could see doing this, just not sure here, will keep experimenting.

Would be a nice option to combine multiple actions to run simultaneously.
