ok, i'm making a flash website, I don't want to have to use urls, well, just one - the website domain.

anyway, i've made all the pages, but......how do I make it in one movie clip???? I want to be able to use it offline if you know what I mean, so i can click on a button and it takes the user to another page????

With the complexity of the image he us descibing, he'd probablly be better off using the magnetic lasso tool... another way would be to duplicate and convert the image to grey scale, using the image>adjust>levels turn the image into a two colour black and white image, capture the squirrel out of this image by using the lasso and converting the selection to a path, then copying the path onto the original image and using the selection to remove the background with a feather of 1 pixel.

If the resolution of the image is below 150dpi, I wouldn't even bother trying IMHO...

ok, i've done that, can't believe how much time can be saved with tweening, and it's sooo easy, i've done the round thing, now onto bigger and better.....

I yet again have a problem, this time with Adobe :D

i've been looking all over, I must be looking for the wrong thing.

not sure if Adobe can do this, but it's worth asking.

ok, I have a image of a squirrel, it has a really bushy tail and some annoying scenery behind it, i'm trying to take the squirrel out of the background so I can put it in any other image that I like, e.g. New York or on a skateboard, with the square background that would look silly.

ok, so my problem: how do i cut the squirrel out of the image without taking all day deleting the background pixel by pixel with the rubber? is there some way i can marquee the image, do press some options and hey presto the squirrel is free? if not, can you recommend a program hat does :) thankyou.

I can see what your trying to achieve now, but the way it's explained to you is a little foggy/breif. If I get time today, I'll translate it into somple easy to follow english...
