Chicadelsol:

Simply select the object using the Lasso Tool and cut and paste it into a new Pshop layer.There are a few other methods but this one is a good place to start.

I was wondering if there was a video that shows how to break an image into layers in photoshop before moving over to flash in order to animate. I am new to the adobe setup so any help advice as to where to start and the basics I’m missing to complete this would be much appreciated. Thanks

I make that very clear when I open the Flash library and show the pieces imported in from Phoptoshop.

thanks.
But several things were unsaid and unclear. The bitmap images needed to each be made into symbols in order to use the bone tool. It would have been better to give more detailed instructions on that for beginners.

TyBy: Select the object on the stage. Right Click and select create symbol from the pop down menu. Alternatively simply select the object on the stage and press F8 or select Modify>Create Symbol.

I am so sorry for not replying, kubbr. The answer is yes, each layer to be aniumated must be a Flash movieclip.
