Images in bmp, jpeg, gif, png and wmf formats can be imported into Flash and used in your movies. 

From the menus select File > Import

Choose the file you want.  It is placed on the stage and a copy is also placed in the library.

When you import an image into Flash, it is import that you consider and try to minimise its file size, otherwise your movie may be too large to play effectively.

You can also use an image as a fill for an object on the stage.  Select the image and choose Modify > Break Apart from the menus.

Draw an object that will be filled with the image.

Select the dropper tool.

Click with the dropper tool on the broken apart image

Then click inside the drawing object that you want filled.
