I have been able to creat the poser model and import it as seperate frames into flash and then build a flash movie of a bird flaping its wings.  the animation is composed of 60 different layers eash with its own fram of the movie.  It plays well but I have no idea how to turn this 60 layer beast into one flying bird sprite that I can then copy and creat a flock of birds that will fly accross my flash page.  Does anyone know how to use flash well enough to know how to do this? please help.
