Ok, there are two ways to make fire with a flashlight. You can do it USL style, and get a high powered incandescent (9v or higher, preferably) or you can try controling the sparks of a short. I learned the latter on Mythbusters. First you get an incandescent minimag with its head off. Then you break the bulb so that there are just the two bi pin thingies sticking out of the bulb holder. On mythbusters they used steel wool to cause the short and produce sparks, but Im sure any metallic object will do.
