Hello Everyone, im new to the board and also very new to using flash.  
I have a problem that i need some assistance with if possible. Im trying to import an image from Windows paint (bmp file) into flash 8 but im finding that flash rather than just displaying the image i drew it also shows that white background behind it, is it possible to have flash just simply show the image drawn and not the background? Is there a way to make the background transparent? Sorry im so green to flash,any help offered would be great.Horace
