when i import an image and break it apart, i can’t select single parts of it like i can with something drawn in flash. the entire thing, even the transparent parts, are selected when i click it. does anybody know how to stop this from happening?

EDIT: nvm, i found the answer. i’ve been searching for a half hour and i never thought to use “imported images” in my search 🙂
