I can't figure out how to create custom eyes in CTA3PRO.

From looking at the software, the pupil and the eye are separate sprites/graphics -- but I can't find anything that explains how to create these myself with my own graphics. Can anyone help me?  I've been through the manual and the available tutorials and I'm totally lost. This shouldn't be this difficult to just explain how these eyes/mouths are created with graphics and imported into CTA3PRO.

Thanks.

Well, I followed the video and it doesn't work in CTA3PRO. No idea why not or what's different?  This is so frustrating!

My SWF (frames) file doesn't import. CTA3PRO returns an "unsupported format" error. I'm using AI, but that shouldn't matter. 

Of course, the CTA3 manual is zero help.

Just tried making it in Flash (Adobe Animate) and got the same results. I'm thinking version 3 is not working properly or is junk.  I'm tired of wasting my time on what should be a very simple task.

Tell it okay and load it.

I just tried loading an eye I created in DP to a G2, G2+, G3, and Dog characters and they all worked.
Make sure you convert your objects into symbols.

Also, if you could describe what type of character you are trying to load the eye to as well as how you are loading it might help to determine what the problem is.

I just followed this above tutorial for creation in Flash (now called Adobe Animate), and I got the same results -- no layer (Pupil) movement. 

Is it possible it's something with the updated Adobe suite?
