l337 Nurse Pedestrian 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Hey, I was wondering, In Flash you can import pictures to use in your movie or whatever. I did that, and I wanted to edit it. though, for some reason I couldn't. I couldn't erase, or draw on any imported pictures. Is there a way to make them editable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ploforia 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 You can import pictures into flash of course - and you can edit them!You cannot however, for instance, import a photoshop file or something into flash and expect to preserve layers or filters. What you see is what you get with the pic. You can draw overtop of the picture or erase parts. I don't see why you couldn't edit the picture. What gives you the impression you can't edit the picture??? What did you do to try to edit it that didn't work? Tell me more - I could probably help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l337 Nurse Pedestrian 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 I can't, I try to erase part of the picture, and the erase mark disappears when I let go of the mouse. Also, I cna't draw anything over top of it, I even tried more layers. No luck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ploforia 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 It sounds like your layers are locked. And/or you are attempting to edit(draw over) a locked layer. In the timeline you will see the names of the layers on the left side. To the right of the layer name you will find the lock, which will lock or unlock the layers allowing or disallowing edits. You MUST unlock the layer in order to edit any of the content. Try that and see if it helps any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qop 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 Nope, his layers aren't locked. I had this problem a long time ago when I still was a flash-nub :PIt's simple: break the image apart. What? :PI'll explain: right-click your image, and click break apart. Suddenly, this strange dotted pattern comes over your image. This means Flash gives the picture the same status as a regular picture you'd draw in Flash. Little hint: shortcutkey is ctrl+b.Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
