No, it doesn't work with it.

Flaming arrows only works with a set number of defined weapons. That isn't one of them. Nothing dynamic or rule based about it.

For example, it works with the bow of war. It does not, however, work with blowpipes. Here is the full list of fiery ranged weapons (note that the bow of war is the only magic item listed as having a specific fiery form):

Fire Arbalest
Fire Bola
Fire Boulder
Fire Boulder
Fire Bow of War
Fire Chakram
Fire Composite Bow
Fire Crossbow
Fire Flare
Fire Javelin
Fire Long Bow
Fire Short Bow
Fire Shuriken
Fire Sling
Fire Small Bow

For this and other interesting information, such as what all units are considered to be made of stone for example, DOWNLOAD EDI'S DATABASE. No one can tell you all of this stuff off the top of their head, but the database can!

Is that small bow true? I thought consensus was it didn't work!

I didn't test it to make sure, but I seem to recall using flaming arrows with small bow-equipped skinks in a test or an mp game in which it worked. Since that would easily more than double their potential effective damage, it's not a bad direction to go. It should work though.

It should be noted that I listed fire flare as a ranged weapon... it is not. It is a melee attack used by abysian salamanders, I believe. I just failed to remove it from the list when copy/pasting from the database.
