I have some pics that I have drawn and I want to put them into flash MX, and maybe make an anime movie or something, How do i trace them into flash MX? I keep finding tut’s to do it in flash 5 but can’t find one for MX. can someone help me out, or point me in the right direction?

Hehe, I can help you there. The principle is exactly the same for MX as it is for Flash 5.
Import your picture into one layer, lock it, then create another layer over the top, and use that to trace. I’ve written a tutorial on it here on kirupa… [Line Art Tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/lineart.asp) .
Hope that helps. 🙂
