Well, after you've scanned your picture in, you would want to copy what you have into Micromedia Fireworks, tell me if you don;t have it. Then you will need to get the rubber tool and basically take away the area of paper around the handgun, with it. This will take a while, you would usually use the magic wand tool for stuff like this, but seeing as its a handrawn thing on paper, there will be all sort of different shades off colour on there. So anyway, once you've rubbed out all of the stuff you don't want, you need to copy and paste it into Flash, then you can do what you like with it there, hope i've helped you!

lol, this DOES, kinda belong in the how to forum section, but since you've already posted it here, I might as well answer.

I've been scanning stuff in a lot lately, so what I'd suggest doing would be to (firstly, get a scanner, if you dont have one) and then scan the gun or whatever into photoshop. I dont think you can scan directly into flash, so thats prolly your best bet. After that, save it, and go into flash and import the drawing, make the drawing into a symbol, and in the symbol, break it apart and get rid of all the white extra stuff around the drawing. Then you can animate the gun drawing easily.

Hope I've helped a bit!
