Animate Bone tool filling shape

Hello, i'm new to learning Animate, I was trying to use the bone tool for the first time and I imported a jpeg of my drawing onto the stage, clicked break apart, removed the background, then cut out the area I wanted to animate first and put it on a new layer. Then I went to apply bones, did that, then as soon as I try to move the bones my shape fills with a different color. Has anyone ever had this issue before? I'm thinking it's just a setting I have on but it's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Thanks. I attached a short screen recording of the issue.

    Hi mate,

     

    Use Asset Warp tool for this, not the bone tool.

     

    Side note: If this was your first time using the bone tool, make it also your last and you will avoid a lot of pain and future frustration.
