Importing SWF creates bitmap and graphic

I've created my user interface in Photoshop >
opened file in ImageReady and exported document as SWF for my Flash
8 pro. When the SWF is imported to Library in Flash, the library
gets a bitmap AND a graphic of each image.
Can someone explain why?
Which should I use on the stage?
Do I need to keep both library items?
*Confused*

Okay.

Photoshop is a raster image editor. It has some vector
capability, but
generally speaking, it creates bitmaps. It, coupled with
ImageReady, may
have the capability of exporting those bitmaps as SWF files,
but those SWFs
are merely "wrappers" for a bunch of bimap files.
> Which should I use on the stage?
If you want to tween these assets, you'll likely want the
symbols (not
the image files) on the Stage.
> Do I need to keep both library items?
Yes. The symbols merely hold the image files. If you delete
the image
files, the symbols will be empty.

  • Why an imported SWF created in Flash CS5 doesn't works fine?

    perhaps I am not lucky. I find no answer.. perhaps im a noob (daaaah)  please if you can help it would be appreciated!
    I'm new in flash and flash catalyst.. but i'm not bad at all hehe. After publishing a swf from flash CS5 (that works perfect when i preview it) i want to import it in flash catalyst...
    ... i click on import swf and i select my swf. When i execute the project (CTRL+ENTER) in flash catalyst the motion tweens created in Adobe Flash doesn't start
    Even if it works well when i run the SWF from desktop or in Adobe Flash directly

    A detail that could help you guys..
    I used FlashEFF2 in Adobe Flash CS5 (as a Text Effect (it's awesome)) and this effect only starts and works fine in Flash Catalyst. The motions tweens created in Adobe Flash CS5 doesn't starts in Flash Catalyst
    Thanks to read it!

  • Import SWF created in Catalyst

    The Catalyst program I created photo gallery and exporting him into swf. Then I put it into a new project (web pages) in the Catalyst Import function. In the program I see him as a SWF Asset, but the test (Run) even when exporting to the SWF, the original interface does not appear. SWF files created in another program (Sothink) appear normal.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately you can't import an SWF from Flash Catalyst into Flash CS5.  Flash Catalyst uses the Flex Framework for building the its SWF.  Flash CS5 does not use the Flex Framework and doesn't know what to do with that kind of file.  You can load an SWF from Flash CS5 into your Flash Catalyst project, though. 

  • Import SWF created in FC to FC

    I created a sequence of images as a slideshow using the FC, exported and everything works normally, but now when I import this swf to another project it displays the imagesthat were out, that would be part of the transition, as if the SWF was opened for editingagain.
    btw this does not happen if I use a swf that was not generated by the FC.
    A problem when exporting?
    Can anyone help me?
    thx

    If you export to a tab delimited format and the first row contains the exact field names of the fields in the form (order doesn't matter), then you can import a row of data into the form using Acrobat. You can also automate the process using JavaScript in Acrobat.

  • Suggestions for creating LOGOS and GRAPHICS??

    I create logos as kind of a "hobby". I usually use PAGES to create as most are manipulations of fonts, shapes and importing images, etc.
    I realize I am limited by PAGES in terms of producing high quality images for reproduction.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for the next best program to use? I don't have the patience or time to learn COREL DRAW - I'm hoping there is something in between PAGES and programs similar to COREL!
    SUGGESTIONS are really, really appreciated!
    Thank you.

    I do monograms in Photoshop Elements which is really a program for photo manipulation but is a great program for graphic design. I went with Elements since it is a lot cheaper than the full version of Photoshop and has everything I need.

  • I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics.  When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document.  What happened, and how do I fix

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • Bitmapping Fonts and Graphics in Mountain Lion

    My fonts graphics are bitmapping whenever I use Adobe CS5 (specifically, Illustrator and Indesign). Then I noticed that fonts and graphics are bitmapping in Chrome as well. It seems to work fine in Safari, but I still see some bitmapping, such as the editing bar above, as I type this question (in Safari).
    I've also get a MacBook Pro 15" with Retina display.
    Any ideas?

  • Import stops with 'Transport set created, exported, and submitted...'

    Hi,
    I'm using Oracle Portal 10.1.4, and I've successfully imported page groups into this portal before, but now when I try to do an import, I only see the following message in the 'Browse Transport Sets' page:
    Import: Transport set created, exported, and submitted to background process for import.
    This is true for new page groups and for page groups that should be replaced. Any ideas?
    What is the background process? How do I get it started, if it has failed? How can I remove the transport set that is in this 'Import' status. Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    J.

    Hi J,
    For me if this is happening is cause problably something hang on your side while doing the Portal Export / Import. Not sure how it happened but I've seen this happening for other persons. The easiest way is to clean up the Portal Transport Set tables. Upload the DMP to the Portal again and attempt to merge it again.
    There is an out dated Note in the Metalink for this, but I'd basically submit a Service Request as Oracle Support may better help you on this matter and eventually update the old Note -- Note:177597.1 - How to clean up the Oracle Portal Transport Tables.
    I hope it helps...
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • How do I import images created in earlier versions of Aperture and saved to DVD as an Aperture library into Aperture 3.2.1?

    When I insert the DVD into my MacPro the disk appears as though it is blank, with the little 'burn' icon in the top right
    When I insert the DVD into my macbook it shows the full Aperture library structure and when I allow file sharing between the machines the MacPro can also recognises the files
    I suspect I am making a basic error somewhere as the images are clearly all there.  This doesnt just occur for one DVD, I have dozens that are all perfroming in the same way when I try to import files created in an earlier version of Aperture back into the version I am now using, 3.2.1
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
    Reiss.

    To get the old library into Aperture it will need to be upgrade. To do this you will need to copy the library off the DVD onto our HD and then open Aperture on this library. Aperture should then upgrade the library to the latest version.

  • Custom Image Capture that Auto Imports the OS WIM and Creates a New Task Sequence

    We just finished a consulting project where our customer requested an easy solution to capture thick images.  After hearing their reasoning it made sense for their circumstances.  The people that
    will be managing the system will be non-technical and all they wanted was a very, very simple method of capturing and deploying images with no learning curve.   They wanted the ability to Deploy the images via PXE.  
    This quickly became both our easiest scope project but making MDT simple for non-technical users can be challenging.   The MDT capture and staging steps are pretty easy for tech savvy person but for non-technical people it presented a learning
    curve that the customer wanted simplified. They didn’t want to understand sysprep, capture, importing an OS and then creating a Task Sequence to reference that new image.        
    So we changed the scope of our project to automate MDT to perform additional steps following the capture that would:
    Automatically Import the Captured OS into the MDT Deployment Share
    Automatically Create a new Task Sequence that references the newly imported image
    Auto Name the Task Sequence with the Model Name, Date and Time of Capture
    The Final Solution:
    Customer will setup a Windows PC Thick Image (All software and drivers)
    The customer will Kick-off the Sysprep and Capture Task Sequence
    The customized Task Sequence will capture, import the new image, and create a new TS with the new image
    Customer can then PXE boot a new computer and Deploy the image or stage to media and deploy the image
    We were able to remove the import OS and create new task sequence steps and this simplified it for our customer considerably.  If anyone is interested in this functionality
    let me know and I can send you instructions.  We used Vbscript, Powershell and PSExec.exe from PowerShell.  It seems to being working pretty good so far

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • Which is more important for Adobe CS6 and FCX on imac? Processor or Graphics Card?

    Hi, I want to get the new 27" imac when it comes out this December. It will be my first mac although I have both an iPhone and iPad. I'm and artist and aspiring filmmaker and want to run Adobe CS6 and Final Cut Pro on it. I'm looking at the highest 27" but have limited funds for additional upgrades. Apart from RAM, what would i be better off upgrading on the imac? Going from the i5 to the i7? or going for the GTX 680mx Graphics card with 2gb of memory? or going for the 1TB Fusion drive? If you could only pick one or possibly 2, which would be the best to choose for video and graphics on the programs I mentioned? (I'm not into gaming, so performance on that front is of no concern to me)

    I don't have CS6...
    1) I would max out the video card. FCP X and Motion 5 uses the GPU over the CPU for processing power. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
    2) FCP X and Motion 5 will use all the ram you can throw at it. I have 16 GB of ram and both programs at times uses all 16 GB of ram. I really should bump up my ram to 32 GB. I would say 16 GB is the minimum for video.
    3) The processor would be last on my list. Computers are really fast even with an i5 processor. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
    This is the iMac I bought last year:
    27" iMc mid-2011
    3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
    2TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5
    Apple Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
