The answer as mentioned before is to import the gif in the PNG format instead. PNGs preserve transparency better in flash.
In photoshop, open your image and click "Save for Web" on the File menu. Then in the options box on the righthand side, choose "PNG-24" from the file menu. Please note, that you must choose "PNG-24" and NOT "PNG-8"....don't worry about the file size at the moment. Make sure the transparency is turned on.
Save it off and import it into flash. When you drag it onto the stage you will see that the transparency is as it should be. Now, to lower the file size, right hand click the image and choose "properties". Uncheck the "Use Imported JPEG Data" box and play with the quality value until the image is lower in size without a major loss in quality - usually about 60-80 should do it.
Click ok and then compile it to show your finished work!
Enjoy!

I am assuming you are trying to import a gif with transparency. If you need transparency on an image you are importing into flash save it as a png and import the png. Also not you can also use the png file for opacity.

you have what you call aliasing. The white outline is due to the compression and softening of the edges of your image.
Best format to work with flash is PNG, as that supports transparent backgrounds.

i m unable to understand what you mean by white outline. i m guessing you are probably looking at it on the stage. have u tried exporting as a movie? (Ctrl+Enter??) try this and take a look at it again.
if the problem persists, try re-importing and then try Modify->Break apart (u ll need 2 do this before you 'convert to symbol')
when the image breaks apart, you can select the areas which are white and delete them.
if this too doesnt work, then try opening the gif in photoshop and crop it.
if that doesnt work, trying extending your time for this question on yahoo.
