How to edit a Bitmap Image in Flash?

[jinliuqi]

I have imported a Movie Clip symbol from others.
I found the Images related to that symbol is not quite adapted to my need.
So I'd like to edit it in an external application, such as Photoshop.
But the Flash told me that I cann't do that because I haven't the png file.
What should I do now?
Cheers.

I just had the same problem with an MP3 file in a movie someone sent me to work on. Here's the fix:

1) Create a new blank Flash movie.
2) Open the library of the original movie and drag the PNG image onto the stage of the new movie.
3) With the new movie open, go to the File menu then choose "Export Image", then select your format (PNG, JPG, etc.). Save it with a different name than the original PNG.
4) Voila! You can now edit the image in Photoshop. Then you can import the edited PNG file into your original movie and delete the original PNG (or keep it there for backup).
5) No need to save the new blank Flash movie.
