What's the next step in the tutorial? If you have the bone layer selected go to the next step. When a bone layer is selected you can use bone tools or layer tools on it.

thats my problem I cant select the bone. Frank still has a red dot by him, could that be a problem?

No. The red dot only has to do with exporting to SWF.

If you have the bone layer selected, then use a bone tool to manipulate the bone. If the bone layer is NOT selected the bone tools won't work.

That's all I can give you without more information.

I think you need to back up in the tutorials and re read the steps or go to the help and read about how to use the tools and layers. It is explained.
