i paste and then convert to graphic item (or something like that).

Or save them as interlaced pngs; those import without the white, I believe.

Modify -->

Bitmap-->

Trace Bitmap!

That should work, now just delete the evil white part.

Oh, and please don's submit your first try!

i had this too, till a good friend taught me.. alright, either import the spritesheet INTO FLASH ( i prefer ) or copy+paste. now put it in the main window, make sure its a symbol (Graphic or movieclip, doesnt matter) highlight it, go to modify-Trace bitmap, and click ok. it should split into seperate things (details at end of post) and then just click somwhere where the background used to be, you will be able to select it all and delete it. Good luck and have fun.

P.S- Extra info- For optimum (at least for me) results, make the settings in trace bitmap like this-
Color threshold- 100
Minimum area- 1
Curve fit- Pixels
Corner Threshold- Many corners

Good luck!
