first select projType then projType Close the connections editor.

Select the "flames" node and middle-mouse drag it onto the "Proj_Flames_A" node. This again will bring up the Connections Editor.
first select outAlpha then imageR Close the connections editor.

(This takes the Alpha channel of the flame picture and places it in the red channel of our new alpha proj node).
Next select the "Proj_Flames_A" node and SHIFT middle-mouse drag it on to the "layeredTexture" node.
first select OutColorR then Inputs[0].Alpha Close the connections editor.

(This tells the layeredtexture node to use the red channel from the alpha node as an alpha channel for layer "0")
You should end up with something like this

Change the "default color" for the "proj_Flames_A" node to black.
