Import photoshop CS3 layers into Flash CS5?

Does anyone know if you can import photoshop layers from CS3 into Flash CS5? I am looking to get Flash CS5 for my Win 7 but am worried I won't be able to use it with all my CS3 photoshop work. Has anyone had experience with this and can tell me one way or the other if it does or doesn't work. I know CS5 has LOTS of backward compatibility problems.
Thanks.

Yes, save the photoshop file as a .ps file and then import it in Flash. You will get pretty much the same import options window that you saw in Flash CS3.

Importing Illustrator CS3 files into flash CS3 to tween

Hello,
I'm definitely not a flash pro so I would like some help!
I'm trying to animate a man in Flash CS3 who was drawn in
illustrator CS3.
I've imported all the layers but when I try to tween them
only the ones that have a single path tween correctly. Can you only
tween single path layers or am I being an idiot?
Many thanks and I look forward to your comments!

you can actually make illustrator drawings into symbols for
use in Flash CS3 while they're still in Ai. I would try that
approach first. There are some video tutorials on Adobe's site-
I've lost the link.
That takes it out of the multi-layer wackiness, and puts
everything together in nice packages.
Hopefully I'm not telling you something you already know X

Importing Captivate CS3 project into Captivate CS5.5

Our company has a number old projects that were created and saved in Adobe Captivate CS3. We need up update the material using Captivate CS5.5; however, they will not open in this version. We believe it may be due to older Flash files and the drop in support of AS2 files. We can open these projects in Captivate CS4, then CS5.5, but this is not a long term solution for us. Is there a converter or some other option available??? Thank you very much.

Apart from opening Captivate files with other Captivate versions has you have already done, there is no other solution for upgrading your projects.
Bite the bullet and do this immediately to get your projects into CPTX format files. Cp7 or later versions will not open .cp format files. Only CPTX. So since you appear to currently have Cp versions that will open your old Cp3 files, you are best advised to do this right away. Otherwise your next upgrade to Cp7 or Cp8 later this year could see you tossing all courses built in the older Cp format.

Can not import PhotoShop CS3 files into Illustrator CS3

Worked just fine yesterday. I can place a JPG. I typically just drag a PSD into Illustrator. I now get an error message sayng it can not read the file. I have tried placing the file and nothing happens (no messages or warnings).
I tried saving the PSD as a TIF, but no luck here either.
I have tried opening a new file and dragging various PSD files in. It seems that none of the work any longer.
And yes I've rebooted.

I have the exact same problem. I haven't placed PSD files into Illustrator for quite a while, but I just tried it this morning and it doesn't work (just like the OP). I even opened a file about a year old, which used to work just fine, but now the PSD file doesn't appear and I can't re-import it. So it has to be some issue recently introduced.
@Galumph - I have Vista x64 and 8GB of RAM. Is there a specific issue that applies to this particular combo?

Importing PSD into Flash CS5

I have a PSD file with layers that I am trying to import into Flash. The problem that I am having is that the text effects that I have applied in Photoshop are not transferring into Flash. All I get is the Font, Font size, and color. But I used Drop Shadow on some of the and some other effects as well. None of these are transferring over to Flash. Do I have to save them in a certain way i n Photoshop in order to effect the transfer. I want to be clear. I am not trying to import text effects as separate layers or anything complicated. I just want the text to look like it does in photoshop. Can anyone give me a suggestion?
Thanks!

It doesn't matter which one you use to create graphics and assets. Photoshop is regarded as the standard from creating web graphics, ther e is just so much more you can do. I prefer Fireworls when creating slices, and Pnotoshop for optimizing images for export. Keep in mind that a Fireworks PNG is basically the same as a PSD file, with layers, etc. But either one can export as a web png, transparent background. When you import one of these into flash, just choose to import as a single bitmap.

Importing a premade photoshop web gallery into flash

I am using a pc and I have made a photoshop web gallery is
cs2 and I wish to import the .swf file into adobe flash so I can
add a few navigation tools for example a home and a blog button but
when I import the .swf file into flash it says cannot open a
protected movie if someone could help me with this that would be
amazing because all I need a few damn buttons for my website to be
perfect thanks here is my website TomFowlerPhotography.com in case
you wanted to see what I was talking about thanks so much

I am not familiar with what PS CS2 creates, but you should
check whatever publish settings there are for that feature to make
sure that any file protection features are not enabled. That may be
the source of the problem.

Importing a PSD document into flash?? Help

Hello,
I am trying to import my PSD document into flash, I designed my website in photosphop but for some reason flash
seems to handle everything a little weird. Can Flash handle the different you place on things from photoshop?
t=Thanks

Usually it is easier to separate your psd and save each element for web then import to those to Flash and rebuild.
But it is indeed handy to import your psd directly. If you do so:
Play with your import settings when importing your psd to Flash. You may want some items to remain vector shapes, you may or may not want to keep text editable, some you may want to import as bitmaps, most you will probably want to convert to movie clips, etc.
A few bullet points:
• Flash will turn your layer styles to separate bitmaps and will usually distort them funny.
• Make sure your psd color profile is sRGB before importing to Flash.
• Some fonts will not import to Flash from a psd nicely, if you dont need to edit the text you should convert the type to shape (make a copy of the layer first, though, you may have to go back and edit - typos happen)
• Flash will turn bitmaps as pngs. These may increase file size, so you may still have to go back to PS and export some as jpg (if you do though, once you import those to flash, right click in your library and click Properties and uncheck "Use Imported JPG Quality" and set the percentage yourself).
The list can go on, but I'm tired and can't think of all the tips and tricks.
One thing is for sure: Be sure to go over all the importing options in Flash and all the layers carefully before hitting OK.

Transfer(import) 3d pic (PS5) into flash

How can I integrate a 3D pic created in PS5 into flash cs5 and keep it spinning (like a Globe) ?
normal import function in flash is not preserving the 3 d sturture created in ps5

hi,
thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn’t work. The image is still a kind of postcard with a frozen snapshot of the 3D image. I rendered the PS5 3 d image into video in PS 5, then transformed this video with the media encoder into a f4v file and imported this into flash which worked out. Can you think of any other possibility or a way how to preserve the 3D data form Photoshop? is there a way to do this via papervison?
Best regards
Andreas

Image problems importing Illustrator 10 file into Flash MX.

Hello,
I'm working on my portfolio and want to import an Illustrator
(version 10) file into Flash (Flash MX). The problem I'm having is
that when I import the Illustrator file into Flash, it comes out
looking blurred. I tried exporting the Illustrator file into
Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG, PNG, and TIFF (in each file
format, changing the image size to 72 dpi) and I still get the same
blurred result. I also tried saving the file for web, in
Illustrator (in JPEG and PNG formats) with no success as well.
The Illustrator file is a small collage of my graphic design
work (where I pasted graphic work done in Illustraor and made
clipping masks to collage them together), so I'm not sure if
bringing these files together maybe causing some technical issue or
is importing Illustrator files into Flash just something that will
always appear blurred. If so, is there a way I can bring the file
into Photoshop and work with it where I can import it without the
blurred appearance?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matthew,
Here's the Help doc that talks in more depth about Smart Objects:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS41A5B796-6846-4e95-8459-95243441E126.html

We have multiple request to add support for externally linked files and certainly see the value. There also are a couple third party solutions that offer linked file behavior (I'm not sure what versions of Ps they work with). You can see and add to the request (and find the third party solutions) here:

Importing Illustrator with effects into flash

I was curious if there is a way to import Illustrator files seamlessly into flash. My project in Illustrator has a lot of effects like drop shadows
here is what the file looks like: http://adjustreality.com/uploads/mando.jpg
so as you can see it is pretty complex. I want to import as much as I can in vector so that it saves on load time since i already built it in vectors. is it possible to import most of it in vector then just rastor the stuff that might not translate like gaussian blur etc?

answered my own question, I just pasted it in and it asked to use some illustrator import tool, works perfect.

Can we import a Director movie into Flash ?

I'm exploring a possibility of importing a Director movie into Flash or if it is possible to import a published Director movie into Flash.
Anticipating your reply....
Thanks,
-Mithun

As I may have mentioned in the other thread where you asked this, No. You can not. You can import a flash swf into Director but you can not import anything from Director into Flash.

How can I export indesign layers into flash?

I created a graphic in indesign, but want to export the seperate layers into flash to animate them. What's the best way?

right click on object on stage and select distribute to layers
So used to working in AI for Flash I didn't think of the FLA export. The exporter makes a library movie clip for each page that includes the ID layers (i.e. Spread_1), so you don't need to right click the stage, just open the clip.

Compressing and importing from Final Cut into Flash

Hi,
I am trying to import a short film into Flash to create a swf file which I want to use on the web.
I compressed the film to a smaller Quicktime film and imported it into Flash, worked fine, but I don't get any sound.I did mark the box import audio.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Silke

extract the audio from your original movie and attach it to your SWF
dunno too much about Flash, but you should try importing your audio and video as seperate assets
or forget flash - u could just put it up as a movie (QT,MP4,WMV(!).....) or create an animated gif (e.g. with fireworks) and attach the audio file to it......
good luck!

How to import a .mp4 video into Flash?

I have not been able to import an .mp4 video into flash 8.
The video simply doesn't show up in the import box
when I go through file - import. Is there a way to get flash
to recognize the .mp4 format? Do I have to convert the video to
another format? If so, how would I do that?

You can only import what's on your import file format type
list.
Which is no mp4 for flash 8.
For video editing, google... there are countless solutions,
from super
expensive shareware to not so expensive basic tools... Seldom
any freeware
when comes to video editing tools.

How do I import Captivate 4 into Flash CS5?

I am not a Flash expert obviously. I am trying to import my captivates into Flash and get an error message that the file was not imported because it could not be read. Can anyone help?

Hello,
Normally you can export the Captivate file to Flash from the File menu, but I'm not sure it will work between 2 different versions: 4 for Captivate and CS5 for Flash?
