~Animation~
 
Starting from the top of the layer palette x out all layers Leave the White BG Layer until you are left with this:



 Edit copy/Merge & paste as a new animation in AS.

Open SimoneAni149-mng .. It has 33 Frames , duplicate your Image Until you have 33 Frames. If this is too many frames for you, you can always use the cull setting to remove some frames:
I think sometimes it can make it look jumpy, It's entirely up to you!
Anyway let's get back to it.
 
Once you have duplicated your frames select all frames. Bring up your animation making sure all layers are checked. Copy the animation & paste onto our Image.
Make sure its on the BG image which will be below the frame when the tag is completed.
 
Ok back in psp Open up all the layers except the ones we Just placed in Ani shop. 
You can now cross those layers out & Merge all the other,So your
Layer palette looks like this:
Making sure you're on the merged layer Copy & paste into AS as a new Animation.
Again duplicate until you have 33 frames, Edit select all/Edit copy & paste Into selected frame. 
Phew :D 
Now check your Animation!
