How does a burner flame cause a balloon to rise and stay aloft?

As the flame burns it heats the air around it making the air less dense than the cooler air above, the warm air particles rise to the top of the balloon and the balloon rises with the air. Essentially a hot air balloon uses a convection current to stay in the air.

What is the thing coled on a hot air balloon that puts a flame up in to the balloon?
The piece of equipment that put the flame up into the balloon is called the 'burner' in most parts of the world. It is also sometimes called a 'heater'.
What are the parts of a hot air balloon?

How is a hot air balloon able to float with a flame?
As to the reason a hot air balloon floats has already been explained, I will answer your question regarding the flame. The gas burner provides the flame which is placed just in the mouth of the ballon, when lit it provides more heat to the cooling air in the balloon causing the balloon to maintain altitude.
Why does the heating of gas cause a hot air balloon to rise?
Because hot air rises and a hot air balloon utilizes this. As the hot air rises it lifts the balloon so that it lifts off from the ground. And the reason why the hot air balloon has a burner, the thing that is connected to the balloon itself and shoots flame into it, is because the hot air inside the balloon begins to cool causing it to fall so the burner reheats the air so that it doesn't return back to the ground.
