Mesh Particle Emitter & Animation

Hey there, I have a character mesh that I have put a mesh particle emitter on. It comes out with a really cool sci-fi/ghost/hologram look that I want. I've read another thread saying that Unity doesn't support animation with the particle emitter - w$$anonymous$$ch is the problem I'm facing. I'm quite new to Unity, so if anyone could point me in the right direction of some kind of work around for t$$anonymous$$s, or another method of ac$$anonymous$$eving such a t$$anonymous$$ng that would be amazing! Thanks :)
