Images with paths - EPS (Flash)

Hi

I have a problem. Have the Flash animation - movie which has some photos inside. Since the photos needs to be “cutted” if you know what i mean. Those are photos of the band members so they need to be without bacground. I have paths in Photoshop but the Flash MX doesn’t import EPS. Actually it does but just the Illustrator EPS paths which doesn’t help me i guess.

So I imported photos as transparent gif (no background), just the cutted person. But then the quality isn’t good and the size of a file is pretty big - still as it’s GIF.
Is there any function in Flash MX that I can cut out part of an image, or some rubber to delete some parts.

tnx in advance for some helpful answer.

regards, matthew
