How to update warped object image

I'm completely new to Adobe Animate. I was wondering if it's possible to update a image so that all the frames change even though I've been warping the image.

 

 

Nothing happens if I update the "source" img in the library. Probably because it's changed to a warpedAsset.

    True. A Warped Image Asset is different from a Symbol whereas you can't edit the original art once it has been converted to a Warped Asset. It's unfortunate but the way it is. 
    One work-around would be to duplicate the asset before applying the warp tool and create as many duplicate symbols as needed, make your changes by editing them, then swap symbol assets when needed.

    If I update the img that I've only put a motion tween on everything works just fine and the whole animation changes.

    After warping a img it looks like I have to go through every img 1 by 1.

     

    P.S. I'm sorry if I'm unclear, English is not my native language 😕😕
