Why can I not drag and drop a creature from Spore?

[Tapdroid]

The only png I can drag into Creature Creator, is that of of Creature I have made.
Searched and found all kinds of suggestions, but no luck...

Okay, so what happens when you attempt to do so with any other PNG? ._.

Nothing happens on drag & drop,
If I place it in the folder, it does not show up,
If I save as & place it in the folder, it does not show up,
The only way I can get one to show is if I make it. Then I can drag it in or place it any folder & drag, or
place it in My Creatures folder and it works no prob.
If I get it from Spore.com, no joy...

Also, how can we alter or replace the avatar animation?

does anyone know if we can create a functioning string in the properties?
Here's what I have tried: property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float 270, 180, 90, 0

and: property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float 270; 180; 90; 0;

and: property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float (270, 180, 90, 0,)

and: property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float 270
property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float 180
property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float 90
property GIFAngle 0x05d2e2a7 float 70

I have also tried Change of unique address

Anyone know how to get this to work?
It either skips integers, jumps over, or ignores...

After closing and restarting CC, a couple thumbs are appearing. When I try to use them I get the message
"The Creatures require parts you do not have installed"
Hmm, I guess I need to locate Creature parts from ????? Somewhere..

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't the whole thing & this method only works with vanilla creations.I don't have a fix for this, but I do have a solution; if you've managed to connect to spore's server you could go to the sporepedia website (http://www.spore.com/sporepedia) & click the download button while selecting the creature you chose, then it should be in your sporepedia in game (in the recent downloads section), if it's not, you just need to wait around 5 minutes. If you're not connected to spore's servers & you would like to, I can tell you how.
