Okay, first off... this is totally embarrassing because I've NO clue as to what to do to make a real "animated figure" in Flash. I'm not a cartoonist, but I took a clipart (a funny looking granny) and made her 'dance.'

well, the idea was cool (in a dorky sense), but in my non-Flash-educated brain I 'tore apart' the old broad and put her back together again to animate one body part at a time. Thing is, the 'tore apart parts' look like torn paper... so it's like someone tore apart a paper doll and put her back together again.

So, um... help! What causes the gif images to have that 'white' edge where they were sliced in PS? And how do I fix/repair that, and can it be done in Flash itself?
