Yes it is basically that easy... and that hard.
The key is to get the images OUT of Photoshop into AS. I have not used the script mentioned because it is only for Photoshop CS. This script is a Photoshop script, not an AS import script.
The end result is suppose to be an AS file with all the layers of the Photoshop document as image layers in the AS file. Like I said I've never used it.
If you don't use the script, you need to export out of photoshop as a PNG file WITH TRANSPARENCY. That is important and is the first mistake made. You must have transparent layers in Photoshop and use the web export or whatever save as or export has the option for 24 bit png with transparency.
Then you would load these images into AS as image layers. Put these layers into a bone layer and then add bones to the bone layer, and bind each layer to a bone or use the flexible binding option to "warp" the images.
When I've done this in the past I like to put "joint" register marks on a layer in photoshop so I can crop tightly to the image and use those registration marks to reassemble the character layers in AS.
Once done, save and close the AS file. Resave and replace the images out of photoshop WITHOUT the registration marks. When you open the AS file the new images are updated.

but I am very interested in the photoshop import feature that AS has. I was wondering if anyone on the boards here has some experience on how a project would look just using photoshop and AS? I also would love to see some sample animations using photoshop files. My main content would be using people (with transparent backgrounds) and maybe some props, but basically I am looking to do 1-2 mins little films. Is it as easy as important a psd file and then attaching some bones to it? Ok, that's a lot of questions for one post
