Flare problem, doesn't display right

I’ve been using a flare on the Sun in a project for awhile, it’s always looked just fine, but it’s now gotten goofed up–shows a lot of small sun-glows instead of the single bright glow. Attached are screenshots. It looks just fine in the Editor, but when built to iPhone, looks bad, lots of faint circles of light. I’ve deleted my Flares folder in the project and reimported the asset package of flares (this is Cold Clear Sun flare, but the same thing happens with others). Any suggestions?

thanks
Dave

I’m still wrestling with this. The weird effect occurs at closer range, disappears at midrange, and then reappears at a far range. Anyone?

Okay, one more time…I have been fussing and fussing with this to no avail. Here is a screenshot of it on the iphone with a different flare–you can see that it’s just showing the various elements in the flare texture as they are arranged on the texture, rather than making them into an actual flare. This just started happening a few days ago, and it’s the last bug before I submit this to the app store, so it’s driving me crazy. Any help much appreciated!
