painting lineart using flash

[taiso]

Can any body please tell me how to import and paint lineart in flash.

As of now, when I import a scanned image as a jpeg into flash, it converts it to a symbol and I can't paint it.

I know it's probably incredibly simple but it's driving me crazy! If anybody can answer this I will consider them the greatest person in the history of mankind!

Thanks in advance.

As soon as you import your art, select it, then go to the main menu and MODIFY-->>TRACE BITMAP

Click OK when the alert box pops up, then let it do the trace. When it's done tracing, you may paint as you please.
