Is there a way to bend an object?

Question

Is there a way to bend an object in Adobe Animate CC? I have a drawing imported from Illustrator, but I can't figure out a way to bend it. Is there, perhaps, something similar to puppet warp in Illustrator? All it needs to do is be able to bend a drawing (which I converted into a graphic symbol). For example, take a foot, laid flat from the side, toes pointing to the right, and bend it so that the toes point upward while the heel still rests on the "floor."

Thank you for your help.

Thank you so much! It's working now. I double clicked the symbol I wanted to edit using the selection tool, then switched to warp asset tool like you said, and it worked.

I'm just unsure how to animate it now. Any chance you can help with that?

you can use a classic tween to animate the bend. create a keyframe (usually frame 1) where you have the un-bent shape. create another keyframe further down the timeline and deform the shape. right click between the two keyframes and select classic tween. test.

once you see how that works you may want to use several deformations on several keyframes with tweens between the keyframes.
