Imported PNG pics from PS problem. .

Question

Hi to all members here! I am new to this forum, and if I posted here wrongly I am sorry. You can delete or move this if this post already exists or in the wrong thread..
I am new to flash CS5 and I am having a problem creating a character with multiple parts. .
My problem is. I created the character parts in PS: CS5 and save it individually as PNG with transparent background, but when I Imported it to Flash CS5 and applied a bone on it and test the bone. The image is messed up and as I realize that the individual png transparent image has a background. . That's why the imae pic is distorted, messed up. .
I know it's hard to imagine so I post a pic. . 
As what I have said. It is only an example screen cap of the problem. . When I apply a bone and test that is the result. .
Please.. Help me. . I am unable to draw in Flash cause it's different from PS which where I draw the chars, parts, and everything. . Please help me!

1. Hold control and R, this will bring up the import manager.
2. Locate your PSD FIle (The  Photoshop file) will be a blue icon.
3. Select the file.
4. Flash will import it onto the stage, it will be displaying everything you would normally see in photoshop.
5. Look on the timeline, it will have folders ect, representing the layers in photoshop.
- If you drew your character in photoshop and used common sense; Each arm leg ect should be on seperate layers, this will benifit you once in flash.
6. Once all of your assets are in flash. Which they should be if you followed this. Select say the right arm, convert it to a symbol (Just to make things easier) Because if its a separate symbol you can ignore the folders on the timeline, and if you have common sense delete them whist still using thw symbol.
7. Then use your bone tool to animate according to your goals.
If you are still completely confused Email me the PSD, or upload it onto rapidshare or something and i'll show you what i mean.
