I can't use the bone tool.

Hello, I designed a character using the pixel art program called Asperite. I can't make an animation using the bone tool even though I converted it to a symbol. I select the bone tool and while doing it the mouse icon turns into a negative icon. How can I solve this problem?

your character is all one symbol and you're trying to apply a bone tool to it (which will fail)? or you're in the symbol's timeline where you should be able to use the bone tool on the different parts.

Yes, my character is single symbol and single layer. How do I get your eye, eyebrow, arms, in separate layers? Because when I choose, all chooses all.

that's not necessary to use the bone tool, but if you want to do that:

double click your symbol to get to the timeline with the component parts > click the layer/frame with your parts (to select them all) > move your mouse over one of the on-stage parts and right click > click distribute to layers.

try applying the bone tool in the symbol's timeline.
