Yes... For the flash at the end of a gun when fired:
First you need to make 2 flash textures. Then make a plain and position it infront of your gun. Texture it with your first texture like this:
Then you need to increase texture to give the effect of animation but stop it from going over the number of images. Like this

There. The same apllys for explosions except you can position the plain where ever you want it and you will need a full explosion animation split up into separate images for it to work.

P.S Don't forget to make the black backgorund of the images transparent.

To see how to do explosion effects I have made an example in this thread:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=24518&b=6

It should be fairly easy to figure out if you have any DB experience.
