I am NEW to Flash MX and I was wondering when you use something already in gif or jpg form does it need to be changed to a Fla and if so how do you do it? For instance I already have a logo made for my website I’m doing and I want to incorporate it into Flash as either a fade in/out or bouncing, flipping etc but it is in a gif format now. Any help would be greatly appreciated :q:

Well in order to make it do anything, you’ll first need to open up a new file in flash and import the gif or jpg in by going to File \> import or ctrl R. Once you have it inside flash, you can do whatever to it. =)
