What objects are you using to visualise the lava? blobs? try this:
1) apply one texture to every sphere instead of one texture for the whole
blob
2) apply the texture to the spheres and translate them afterwards. that way
the texture moves with the spheres

Hope that helps

Nope, I'n not using blobs , I make the Fluid Simulation in blender and
exported to Pov, so the object is a mesh, but every frame is a diferent
mesh, I will try with blobs if I do not have any other choice

Thanks for the reply

For a mesh uv_mapping would be the right solution but i don't know anything
about the uv_mapping abilities of blender. i doubt this would work in this
case anyway as this is not one mesh (with its vertices moving) but one
different mesh for every frame. maybe someone else knows a solution for
this. i'm out ;-)

No you right it did not work . Blender is very good with uvm but fluid
simulation becouse is regenerating the mesh it can nor control it :-( , But
thanks anyway
