Importing Images without putting them in symbols

[simontheak]

I'm trying to shape tween a couple of images that I have created outside of Flash.

The problem is that when I import them, they're automatically placed in symbols and put in the library ... and obviously I can't shape tween symbols. Is there a way around this?

I've tried pasting them in and I've tried going into each symbol and pasting them from there on to the main stage, but nothing seems to be working.

So if anyone has any ideas, then I'd love to hear them! :p

then tween them

Oh ok ... sounds a good idea :D

So if I just break apart an imported image then it will remove it from the symbol and let me shape tween it?

Thank you very much!
