Hi,  
Can you help? I’m just starting out with Flash and getting to grips with it, so apologises if this question has been asked before.

I have created my project and added layers. i have one layer with a background image in it. How do i get the image to appear in all the layers?

Do i need to copy and paste the image into all the layers or is there another way?

At the moment when i play it back (I’m creating a bar chart that the bars grow slowly across the screen) the background is on for a few seconds and then disappers.

Thanks in advance.  
Jason
