Flash Uses Layers Your First Layer Should Be The Background Image. If You Do not create the Background in Flash Through Symbols (Graphic, Movie, Button etc. You Either Import It in To The Movie 1 Through Import In The File Tab, Select Your Image through import And It Will Come Into Your Library Open Your Library And Drag It Into Your Movie Then Create Text Over The Top Of It Hope This Helpz Sealy34 Check Out My Website Too [www.redcorp.cjb.net](http://www.redcorp.cjb.net)
