go into file, and go import to library, then go to your library and then just drag it into your movie. flash doesn't seem to let you edit your pics in flash though, or maybe im doing something wrong. it may be different with mx cause i don't have it.

library is in window i think.

you could run your picture thougt "trace bitmap" (or something along those lines) and you'll be able to edit it afterwards, like get rid of background or whatnot...

personally I prefer to draw my vectors in Adobe Illustrator and import them into flash. Looks soo much nicer

i use photoshop or something like that, or fireworks, the import them. but sometimes i just want to add in a dot or red eyes or eyebrows or something, and its easier to do it in flash, but it won't let me so....
