Probably a stupid question...

OK, so I'm sorta new to flash and I was wondering how to make things that you animated become part of the backround. In the great bunnykill flash movies, the bunnies that are killed just lie there in the background while other things are being animated. It's kinda hard to explain, and is probably a really stupid question, sorry D:

Put put them in a different layer, and put that layer under the rest.

better than this is to have a bitmap on a layer just above your background with every pixel's alpha value set to 0. Then, when you want to add something statically, convert it to bitmap data and copy it onto that layer. This way you won't have to render a million static objects should you have a million dead bodies and it won't drain many resources.

You could always just animate it up to a point and then when the animation 'stops', you can cut & paste the thing onto the background layer.

Its called layers, if you right click on the thing next to the frames that says 'layer 1', and scroll down to insert layer, a layer will popup above or below layer 1 that says 'layer2', you can right click that and scroll down to properties, then click it and rename it background. Draw your background and make sure your background layer, lies below your animation layer.

Not a stupid question, in fact i've been wondering the same thing.
