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.

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,

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 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

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.

Import text with effect

Hi
is there a way to import text with effect (like bevel and emboss) from Photoshop into Flash CS4?
Thanks

You are more likely to get an answer if you ask in the Flash forum (this is the Flash Player forum).

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
