Stupid Question everyone will laugh at but is it possible to import an image, and then edit it in flash. So an image say of a face and then cutting round that image in flash with the rubber tool?

Thanks

George

Rubber tool? Flash isn’t an image editor. You could technically bring in an image and create a mask around it to remove background, but you’re going to be much better off using an actual image editor and then saving as a PNG and importing that.
