@ElectricifyTV XD no ur not!
How do you re-order the symbols? I’m creating a side view of a character with bones however some body parts overlap areas they shouldn’t and I need to re-order them.
Hey, when I select my bone tool and start drawing with it nothing happens. I’m drawing a picture with the brush tool and I’m trying to animate it. Any insight as to why this happens would be great.
-thanks
thanks

Lol good video, but the things you said sounded so wrong.
you right-click the symbol and then click “break apart”
Sweet, this helped me spawn a good idea.
‘stupid beginners’
Haha…
Idiot.
how do you change a symbol back to a image that can be freely edited and stuff. what i mean is how do you take what you made a symbol back to normal?
this is shit the bone tool dose not work
@2kidd2 a bit easier now

sosigobob – That’s animation for you.
i have a question…what are u using for making bones on stagei mean are u using a simbols or are u using any kind of ready clip arts…can somebody tell me …what can i use to bone…
it TAKES AGES 2 MAKE!!
THIS IS LIEK PIVOT
it looks easy when you do it but when i try its all complicated
when you put the image (picture) on the stage… before you use the bone tool you have to break apart it (Ctrl+B) or (Command+B) for Mac!
Can you import pictures to it and use the bone tool? So yes, can you say how.. Because if i do it, it doesnt work
THANK YOU!!!
dude this video is for stupid beginners that have no idea what there doing so shut up
dude, those are not symbols but instances of symbols.
How are you supposed to make a motion tween with the bone tool?
