Adding Bitmaps to Your Movie

When you import a bitmap into Flash, a copy of it is placed on the current layer of the current frame in your movie. If you wish to use the same bitmap elsewhere in your movie, you simply drag a copy from the library onto the stage. You can use a bitmap many times in your movie without increasing its overall file size (Figure 6.3).
