Just so I'm completely sure on this, each graphic HAS to be a "movie clip" and it won't work if u convert it to a graphic symbol?

To turn png to movie clips go to modify -convert to symbols. I believe cs5 does it automatically.

Yea glad someone else discovered pivot points. The bones were driving me nuts until I started using shapes as pivot points. Awesome tutorial!

Hi, Thanks for the tute.
At 2:18 you mentioned that it's not possible to put bones in unless each piece is a movieclip; how do you turn each piece into a movieclip in CS4?
Many Thanks.

A movie clip is a symbol. There are 3 types of symbols, Graphic, Button and Movie Clip. A graphic is a symbol that you can modify and animate within a scene. A button is just that, a button. A movie clip is kind of like a graphic symbol, except you can group graphics inside a movie clip and animate them within that clip, and then modify the clip externally in the scene without have to modify each individual graphic. That's the easiest way I can think to explain.

where did you find the image?
About the layers, Flash cs3 could just open psd file without loosing any layers so you don't need to use that Pcs4 script.

You can make it easier. Just save it as a psd and add that to the stage. then you can select the layers you need and convert them to movie clips instantly. Hope this helps ;)
