Hi there!

I am using Flash CS4.

When I import a bitmap image, I cannot put bones onto it. So I convert it into a shape by right-clicking on it and using the Break Apart function.

Then I use the Pen tool to outline the figure and delete the background.

Now when I put bones onto this figure and when I move the object, the colours do not move along with it. They seem to stay in the same place. When I fill the figure with a colour in Flash then everything seems fine. But as the original coloring is very distinct I don’t want to do that.

Can anyone please help me out?
