Import PSD or PNG into Flash?

Hi, I am trying to find out if there is a "correct" kind of image to import into Flash. Is there a quality difference between using a Photoshop file or a png image?

If your psd file is set to 72 dpi then you should see the same quality when importing either image. Importing a psd has the advantage of allowing for each layer to be imported as a separate file.

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

Importing PNG into Flash = Color loss

Is anyone out there having this problem: When importing png
files into flash there is a subtle but significant color loss.
Particularly in images that contain alot of Black. It's as if Flash
is using a different color space to Photoshop even though color
management is off in the original photoshop document. When the
PNG's are imported into flash they are always washed out and much
lighter than the original. This is more obvious when importing
images which contain alot of Black. I've been experiencing this
problem for years now and it is sooooo frustrating infact I'm
trying despeatly hard to keep this message calm. Is anyone out
there having the same issue? Im using Mac OSX 10.4 Photoshop CS and
Flash 8?

PNG's are badly designed and often suffer from color
problems. You may need
to use a different color space in photoshop that is
compatible with Flash.
It's not a Flash problem .. and not really even a Photoshop
problem. . its a
problem in PNG's themselves.
See here for an interesting article about why PNG files are
stuffed...

Problem importing PSD or PNG with transparent background

I am using eLearning Suite 2. (CP5 Photoshop CS5)
I am trying to import a PSD or PNG. I am using it as part of a master slide. It is a simple shape, with a transparent background containing a gradient overlay, inner shadow, bevel and emboss. When imported, it appears correctly in the design area of Captivate. However, when viewed in the browser, it acts as if it is an animation and I get what looks like a red color bar spectrum. I have tried to flatten the layers and I still have the problem. When I save it as a .JPG, it works fine. However, as a PSD or PNG, it is a problem. Seems like captivate may be having trouble rendering the gradient or transparent background. Anyone else run into this issue?
Files below:
CPTX File: http://coventry.mzinga.com/content/ss/temp/WCMS.cptx
PSD File: http://coventry.mzinga.com/content/ss/temp/bottom_wave.psd
Thanks,
Eric

So, I thought it might have something to do with the "effects" settings in Photoshop. HOWEVER, I took a regular photo, cut out a part, and put it on a tranparent background. This file as both a png and PSD have a halo that fades in and fades out. I checked timing and I have it set to no transition for the item and show for rest of slide. I did not have this issue prior to upgrading from 4. Hmmmm.

Importing PSD or PNGS? (Transparent)

Since Flash CS3 imports PSDs, should I continue importing
PNGS and JPEGS?
I am importing Transparent PSDs and find the published file
swf size is a little smatter than when I import transparent PNGs.
What is the rule of thumb with Flash CS3 and importing?
Thanks for your help.

there is no rule of thumb - the PSD import wizard is an added
and welcomed feature if you are
working with layered PSD files and Flash - but if you have a
single PNG then that's fine to import
on its own also.
As for file size - there may be a difference between a PNG
and the same PNG in a PSD file - I have
never tested it.

Is it possible to import a photoshop timeline into Flash CC?

I'll explain what it is I am making,
I have created a globe in photoshop which rotates 360 degrees, I'm looking to import this into flash to make the globe interactive with markers. I need to earth to be continuously spinning though when a location is clicked, the earth spins to that point, a bit like google earth. I can see there is no way to create 3D objects in flash so I cannot make a professional looking globe without it looking flat and boring unless I can make it on photoshop and somehow import it to flash while still maintaining the 3D attributes of the sphere and still have the earth rotate.
I'm not overly experience at flash but any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jamie

if you can save as a sequence of bitmaps, you can import that sequence into flash along a timeline.

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.

How to import 3D object photoshop into flash?

Hi, I made a 3D coin object in photoshop CS5.1 then I want to import it into flash CS5.5. how?
I did export the 3D object for every single format, but the flash is not recognise the format.
And I also did save as every different format, but was not a 3D object. Please help.....

Looks like it needs to be done via actionscript. Here is a link to making a 3d game. Maybe it will provide some clues.

Dynamically importing a .mov file into flash

Hi,
I need to import a .mov file into a flash file and create a
.swf movie. I can do it through File > Import Movies option. But
I want to make it dynamic and import the movie. I would like to use
ActionScripts rather than the File> Import options. Pls let me
know if this is possible. Let me know if you have any questions.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,
Magesh

You can only dynamically load at runtime FLV movies.
You can automate the authoring time environment but this is
only with the Authoring tool. See
