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.

  • A problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash

    Hi.
    There's a problem with importing layered PSD file into Flash.
    If I import a layered PSD file, some part the color of the lower layer is shown at the edge of objects or shadows. Instead, if I crop each layers first and import them, there's no problem.
    If the higher layer has brush or transparent effects, it becomes worse.
    Any help with this problem?
    Thanks.

    How was the original art created? Was the original RGB or CMYK? What is the resolution of the Photoshop file? Flash only works well with RGB and 72 pixel per inch resolution. If your original art is not set this way, then Flash will attempt to convert it as it imports it. Flash uses the sRGB color space. You'll get the best color translation if your Photoshop file is using this color preference.

  • Can't import any .psd files into after effects.

    Hello all.
    I was using CS5 master collection without issue, for a year. 
    Decided to upgrade to the CS6 master collection and that’s when the problems began.
    For example, I can’t import any .psd files into AE.
    All files are saved in RGB mode.
    The previous files were made on CS5.
    I made a new .psd file in CS6 with just a couple of layers on it, couldn’t import that either.
    I’ve tried Ctrl-alt-shift to delete preferences, that had limited success. I can import a file and do a little bit of work on it but as soon as I close the file down and opened it up again, it does not recognise the .psd file.
    The errors I’m getting in AE are many
    For example:
    After Effects warning: Reading past end of file
    After Effects error: Could not open intro.psd because it is not a valid Photoshop document
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message:<8104><dynamiclink><5>C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Adobe Premiere Pro exe
    After Effects error: Not enough memory to initialise PSL
    I have un-installed and re-installed many times.
    I’m using Windows 8, with 32ram. Hard drives C: 100mg, D: 2 Tb
    I’ve tried installing on both drives, still the same thing happens. 
    Does anyone out there in Adobe Land have any ideas?
    Totally confused
    Cheers,
    Gary.

    Hi Arie,
    Thanks for your response.
    It actually happens with every .psd file regardless of size or specs.
    All the other programs in the CS6 master collection work fine, except for AE and PS.
    I tried the small file. Created a small file, 100 px by 100px 72dpi, just with a gradient background. Same thing, not enough memory to initialise PSL.
    I got the adobe cleaner, and re-installed on my system (again) .... same thing.
    As long as I open AE with doing ctrl-alt-shift every single time or export layers from PS individually I seem to be OK.
    The problem is far from solved, so I guess i just have to put up with workarounds.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond

  • How do I import a PSD file into AI?

    How do I import a PSD file into AI?

    Place the PSD (File menu) if you are bringing it into an existing AI document, or simply choose to Open it if you are going to use the document size from the PSD file and simply add to it.

  • 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.

    We have multiple request to add support for externally linked files and certainly see the value.

  • How can I [cmd]+A including text boxes? Or how to import one Pages document into another Pages document?

    Hi there,
    I am working on my thesis with several Pages documents (for the first time). And I really have searched all over the Internet to find an answer to exactly my question but I cannot find it.
    First my question was: How can I import one Pages document into another one? I found the answer on that (I think) and there is nothing else than just make a new section and copy/paste it in.
    But then another issue pops up: I cannot [cmd]+A my whole document including the texboxes to paste it in the other Pages document. Then the document will be paste without the textboxes (and I have quite a lot of them in that document) and the text will not be at the right place.
    So please explain to me: How I can combine two Pages documents and keep them exactly the way they are? Is that even possible?
    I thank you so much in advance!

    Hi Fruhulda,
    I have already tried to mark the textboxes in line but that did not work, and besides then the text and the boxes won't be at the rigt places either. Thank you for your reply .

  • 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

  • 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....

    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

    another format? If so, how would I do that?

    You can only import what's on your import file format type

    Which is no mp4 for flash 8.

  • Importing one Pdf document into another.

    I am trying to import one Pdf-document into another using a Reference XObject. I am looking at thePDF- specification, and I thought I was doing things the right way, but its not working. The PDF-specification doesen't have an example of how to do this, only an explanation.
    Below is the PDF-file I am testing with (if anyone can be bothered looking at it   ). The file embeds another pdf-file, and is supposed to show a part of the embedded file at a certain position.
    Again, if anyone can be bothered looking at my PDF and see if they can see what I am doing wrong here I would appreciate it.
    (There is nothing wrong with the embedded file itself...)

    PDF is a binary format. The most important piece in a PDF file is the cross
    reference table. It contains byte offsets to the different objects in a
    file. If you insert just one space (which in a true ASCII file will not
    change much), you are making all byte offsets after the insertion point
    invalid. They now all point to something different than the start of an
    object.
    Because there is no standard about how line endings are encoded in text
    files, every time may add (or subtract) a byte - depending on what computer
    system and what editor you use to convert your PDF to fake-ASCII, and then
    again what I use to try to convert it back to PDF. If you are using a
    Windows system and I'm using a Mac, the cross reference table gets
    corrupted. And that's even before the web server does it's magic and
    potentially adds data.
    If you want somebody to look at your file.
    Have you looked at the post I linked to? The settings in Acrobat are
    important. You need to enable Reference XObjects, AND you have to declare
    the directory where your target file is stored as trusted.
    From what I can see in your PDF code, you are doing a whole bunch of cm
    operations. You may want to consolidate all those into one operation. I
    have not done a detailed analysis, but you could potentially shift your
    data off the page. Keep it simple and see if that makes a difference.

  • Importing Arabic languages from an external document into Flash

    Hi all. I'm working on a project that requires me to display

    Copying and pasting is not usually a good idea. Try using the "place" command to place your external files or documents into InDesign. Nevertheless, you should be able to copy text from Word or other programs with no problem. How are you doing it exactly? Try to do it not only with keyboard shortcuts, but using the actual "copy" and "paste" menus on both programs.

  • Importing PSD's into Flash

    I'm using Flash 8, and have just started importing PSDs into
    Flash. I actually found the import PSDs feature in CS3, and
    discovered that you can import PSDs to Flash 8 as well.
    The problem is, there is a color shift-the PSDs imported into
    Flash appear lighter than they do in PS, or than a JPEG of the same
    image appears when imported into Flash. I have noticed the same
    problem with PNG's as well. They also appear lighter than a JPG of
    exactly the same image when brought into Flash....
    Does anyone know of any fix for this? Is it something to do
    with color-profiles in PhotoShop (of which I know little about)?
    Thanks!

  • 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.
