iPhone optimisation and Particles.

Hi Guys,

just need a little help with regards to my particles. I have been becoming more adept at it all but when it comes to optimisation I have had a few problems. My main problem is this prompt that keeps coming up during main gameplay when particular particles are used.

Strangely enough, all my particles work but a few in this level, and I have some that work in this level as well. I am not much of a coder so I am using the in-engine particle graph editor.

What could be creating such a problem?

The Particles that don't work are the various trail particles on enemies and a particle to indicate touching the screen.

Ok, well I figured out it has something to do with the Effect Mode which has the drop down menu in the Particle Effect set of options for particles, but some of them do not allow me to change the Effect mode, which is causing the problem. Does anybody have any solutions? Every time I select an option it goes back to being blank.
