How to import illustrator artwork to Flash CC, each shape as a separate symbols in Library

This feature was there at previous versions of Flash, but Flash CC simplified the import from Illustrator dialog window,
and I can't find a way how to do it...
I would like to import each shape from the illustrator file as a separate symbol in Flash's Library.
Thanks,
Koby

Hi Preran,
I've read the article, but it doesn't provide a way to do this in Flash CC.
It states that some functionality is present in Flash CS6 and earlier versions, and looks like it is not present in Flash CC.
Hi Amy,
Yes, I have the Creative Cloud (CC) version.
I saw that the CS6 version has the functionality I'm asking for.
Were you referring to the CC version as a "crippled"? Would you recommend using CS6 over the CC version of Flash?
Is it because of this "feature" or because of other features as well that are missing from the CC version?
It looks to me that the Mobile simulator works better in the newer CC version...
(simulates better touch screen wipes, long press, etc)
Question: If I start with CS6 version, then continue in CC version (like you wrote above), will I be able to return to the CS6 version (for importing more AI files) after I saved my project as a Flash CC version...?
Thanks,
Koby

Importing illustrator artwork into Flash (without all the 'mess')

Hi,
This isn't really a problem, more so that I am just "fussy". My friend and I are working on a game. He is producing the artwork in illustrator. I want to keep the artwork in vector format so it scales well on different devices (so exporting as a bitmap is not an option). When I import his illustrator files in Flash, it ends up making thousands of symbols in the library and it's making the interface in flash sluggish, not to mention it just looks messy. (I am aware I could group the symbols into a seperate folder in Flash but that doesn't help the sluggish problem much).
My question is what can I do to make all the illustrator artwork import as shapes and lines instead of complete graphic symbols (which I don't want because it's messy, even if I do group them into folders in the library, it may appear tidier but I know that they are still there and created as symbols and that will bother me anyway). I will be making flash cache the objects as bitmaps for better runtime performance, but that's besides the point. I don't want flash to feel bogged down or unresponsive when I minipulate things and I like things tidy and effecient.
I know what I am asking is possible, for example if you open Flash and draw a few shapes with the pen or any other tool, they don't appear in the library. You can then group all the shapes together as one big "graphic" or "movie clip" by converting it to what you desire. This is nice and efficient and you have just 1 object in the library instead of a "symbol" for every little shape.
I hope I am making myself understood,
thanks Lee

Hello Gentlemen,
I'm also importing .ai files from Illustrator into Flash, collapsing the layers in the flash import window and selecting the entire group as one layer, then importing as a movie clip directly into the library, not the stage.
When I look at my Library, I have all of my movie clips (though they are missing the "mc_" label I had named each with, but there was also a separate folder created for each one, with another folder inside labelled, "Layer 1" and inside that is "Layer 1". Some of them also include a file named <Mesh>.
Is this because I selected the entire folder to import and then named each individually as they came in? Can I get rid of the folders and just keep the movie clips, or are those support files?
Thanks for your help!

If you want to embed videos in your muse site, without using a service like youtube or vimeo, then you will need to manually upload the video files on the server and use them via the video tag available in html5, HTML5 Video
To insert the video tags in your muse pages, you will need to use the 'Object -> Insert HTML' option.
Since this option is not available in Muse, out of the box, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

Import Illustrator file into Flash

I'm using Flash CS4 and I want to import an *AI file that contains the shapes of Europe's countries. The thing is that each country has a filling of dots (blue or yellow) instead of a solid color. Here is a screenshot of my Illustrator screen:http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6983/testedd.jpg
When I import the AI into Flash all these dots become rasterized and everything looks like squashed because, I no longer have vector dots but instead bitmaps. Example of the exported SWF: http://takeab.us/SPL_embed/index_carte.html
(try and right-click and Zoom In; you'll see how bad it looks)
So, what's the best way in importing an AI file and keeping also the vector shapes? I've tried with a version EPS and still no hope.

Well object expand is what I did then copy and paste, I am not certain of the reason to crop.
this is what i got when I expanded copied and pasted. so I do not think the crop is necessary it pastes as a symbol and the symbol is clipped which I think is what you want.
But if in this case you want the stroke as well once you select anyone of the countries they have no stroke according t the tool bar proxy and so it you give it a stroke using say a swatch and then expand copy and paste you get both the fill and the stroke if you desire the stroke as well.
In the case of France and Paris once you paste those into Flash after you stroke and expand then you select both the city and the country and make that into a symbol so that they are one.
And I notice from the art you sent all you have to do is select a country expand, copy, paste and then undo the expand and you are good t go do your work.

How to import Illustrator files in DW?

Hi there,
How do you import Illustrator file as a background image in
DW. I've tried Save for web in Illustrator, but the DW is not
recognising the files. I saved as .svg in Illustrator, and yet
again no joy with DW.
Many thanks

You would have to save the image as a JPG or GIF image and
then you can
place it in DW, using CSS.

Colour changes when importing Illustrator graphics into Flash CS3

Hi there!
I'm creating a Flash site, and all the graphics are imported
from Illustrator.
Also, in the Illustrator file, there are some Phtoshop
graphics with shadow effects on it.
The problem is, that when I import the .ai into Flash, a
pretty strong colour change occurs: everything becomes lighter. And
the shadow, wich is black in Photoshop, turns white in Flash!
Is there a way to solve this problem? I searched the net, and
some people say it's an OSX thing, wich is pretty strange, because
Mac is an obvious choice for loads of designers.
I've attached an image preview.
Preview
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Thanks for the anwsers!
However, the weird thing is, when I pick one of the photoshop
graphics, asign the profile to it, and import it into Flash, the
colors look fairly good. BUT when I import the complete Illustrator
file with alle the graphics in it, I still get the color shift. I
can now put all the graphics in the flash file, one at a time, but
I think thats not the most easy way to do it..

How to import Illustrator files to Premiere Pro (keeping layers)

Hi guys help me please. How can I import Ai files to Premiere Pro and keeping all the layers!
Thank you!

To open the Ai layers for individual use in Premiere you can export the project from Illustrator to a psd file and then import that into Premiere. But It has to start as an rgb color model or Pr gives a generic error and will not open it.

How to import keyboard shortcuts into Flash 8 Pro?

Recently i upgraded my computer to Windows XP, so backed
everything up, reformatted and reinstall. The usual.
One thing i use very often in Flash is my own custom keyboard
shortcuts, which i found handy that you can export them.... however
a huge problem i just came across when reinstalling everything and
getting back into using Flash... I CANT IMPORT KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS?!
I cant seem to find this option anywhere, which is incredibly
annoying as you would expect along with a "Export set as HTML"
option for exporting your keyboard shortcuts.... but an option to
simply import them is nowhere to be found! I cant even find a
folder that i can put the html file i created with my keyboard
shortcuts.... Tried putting it everywhere in the Flash 8
directories.... and still doesnt show up.
Hell, photoshop isnt this confusing, just drop the file in
the Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts folder, and you're done! I dont see
this anywhere for Flash... even in the Local Settings/Application
Data folder where it STORES the shortcuts in its own WFX format!
Too much of a pain remembering all the key configs i had
setup... only option is to change em as i go along i guess, but
there HAS to be an easier way to do this!
Any idea?
*Edit* Ok, now i just realized my mistake... having seen
where the shortcuts are saved, i didnt think of looking for them
there earlier... so i didnt back that up. Arg!

if no shortcut works, try resetting your flash pro preferences:
Hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) or Shift+Command+Option (Mac) when starting flash pro.

How to import DDL for multiple tables referencing each other?

Hello people,
I'm having a non-trivial problem. I need to copy a few tables from one machine to another, both 10g. Just DDL, data copying is not necessary. When I export the DDL to an SQL file using Oracle SQL Developer, the resulting file is refused at the import (again, SQL Developer). The problem is that every table references some other table(s), so every single "create table" command is refused, because the needed table is has not been created yet. What's the best solution to be applied here?
Maybe I can draw a parallel to adding packages in Debian. When you have two packages, A and B, and they depend on each other, you cannot install them using "dpkg -i A && dpkg -i B" nor the other way around. Both calls to the dpkg will fail, due to the missing respective package. However, installing them in one command ("dpkg -i A B") is the right way. This is EXACTLY what I'd love to do with Oracle. Tell it to wait a bit, to make sure that ALL of the necessary tables are specified, and then create them virtually at once. Can it be achieved with transaction management?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Use exp/imp or expdb / impdp
They will only enable constraints after all tables are imported.

How to stop Illustrator from rounding corners of my shapes using brush tool

Trying to draw a skull eye but everytime I finish the shape, Illustrator rounds the corners into s semi-circle. Arrggh!! I am sure there is a setting I have been unable to find that could rectify this. Can someone please direct me to where this is? Im using CS6. Thanks in advance.

The typical brush tool with default settings and there was also a brush called lineart. This is partly tied to my last question I posted where sketeches werent coming out the way I wanted. The shapes are being "auto-rounded" as soon as I finish the shape.

Why does flash add so many points to an imported illustrator file?

this has been a long time question, why, when you bring illustrator artwork into flash does it add so many unecessary control points to the object? something as simple as a circle with 4 happy control points in illustrator suddenly becomes a 20 control point circle when brought into flash. it has been this way forever and i know that there is no setting to change this, i just wondered why this happens cause it has always been frustrating to me. and do you think they will ever be able to make it not do this?
mark

You import the Illustrator file, not a Windows Meta File? This has happened to me with the metafiles. But I use the simplify path tools, and also, when possible draw within Flash
