I need help with flash

[sinproph]

I am wondering the best way to go about cleaning up a simple drawing in Flash. Basically I start with a hand drawn picture, go into photoshop and mess with it a little...obviously it ends up sowing pixels when zoomed in, so I need to put it into a vector program, and all I have for that at home is Macromedia Flash. Can anyone give me some tips on how to clean things up, like commands and whatnot for moving lines, also everytime ive tried to trace over a drawing in flash i can't see what Im drawing. I've tried copy and paste in place to see what Im doing, but no I can't see it. Anything helpful for me? Thanks in advance.

i am not sure what you mean with you can't see the lines you drew, but i guess you are drawing on the same layer where the pic is. Just open a new layer above the one with the picture. Click on the top frame and lock the lower one. Now you can draw and even see what you draw ;)

thank you! Now how do I save as a jpg from flash or at least make it a jpg...because it only saves as a flash doc.

Files/Export/image export/choose a file type...like jpeg!

I've always just used Trace Bitmap, it cleans up line art beautifully...

but then what do you do with it? I mean it just looks like I've selected area.

after that's done, just export as usual...
