Should I spend many hours in Illustrator puting objects on many separate layers before importing?

Very complex overlapping of objects in this project. My adobe Illustrator art has many hundreds of objects on only about 5 layers. When I imported into Flash I can only get to individual objects by breaking apart the layers. The art is very complicated, interlacing of two human figures I didn't design but I copied from ancient 500BC Greek pottery art for an historical film I'm making.
I labeled every object in Illustrator but apparently loose that while importing into Flash. Should I spend hours more in Illustrator putting everything on separate layers that needs to be used in separate layers for overlapping before importing to Flash? Objects in Illustrator automatically appear on a separate line but I guess that is not the same as a separate layer when you import into Flash, right? I am concerned as to how I will be able to make some of these limbs or clothing with all the objects associated with them be moved into just one layer for the overlapping of these things is very complex and I am certain it will take forever to figure out how to rearrange for proper overlapping order if I make a lot more layers, if it is even possible without a work around in some cases. Frankly I am having difficulty with the concepts of objects in Flash vs how layers work in software like Photoshop. MAC OSX FLASH CS6.

Look closely at your import settings when you import your AI file. Unless you flatten the illustrator layers into bitmaps, none of the objects will be lost. If you double-click what seems to be one object in Flash, you will find that all the component parts are still in there.
However, keeping things organized with layers is good practice in Illustrator, whether or not you're using the product in Flash, so it might be a good practice to cultivate longer term.

Should I spend the $280.00 to have Canon fix my 70D auto-focusing issue?

Should I spend the $280.00 to have Canon fix my 70D auto-focusing issue? Or just return back to my very much trusted Rebels?

Very much appreciate your taking time to send a response. As a new user I wasn't sure if anyone would bother. Allow me to add a little more to my first post. I fit in that niche between amateur and a person with clients. For over 10 years I have covered events for a non-profit agency capturing the look and feel of 20+ events per year and was given permission to purchase a few cameras over the year. My decision from the beginning was to use the Canon Rebel. Images were spot on and only once did I have an issue with one of them (after shooting outside events in 105 degree temps for 3 days).
So, when I retired a year ago it was for me a pretty simple choice to get a Canon for myself - especially since at that time the 70D was on the cover of magazines and was very highly touted. I also did a lot of desktop publishing and photo editing which helped me realize I wanted the best sensor, sharpness, resolution and lens I could afford - the 70D. My post was actually a result of reading many online responses including your very informative replies about the 70D focusing issues. My biggest concern is that I will spend several hundred dollars and maybe, just maybe get back a camera which captures better focused images, but still not as sharp as the lower end Rebels I was using. I had hoped to purchase my first "L" lens and really get excited - not repair the most expensive camera I've bought to date.
Thanks again and before it gets noted by someone...yes, I should have pushed this issue sooner and then at least the warranty would have covered the cost. An expensivve lesson learned. But I will have to add that at least one authorized Canon repair dealer told me they have had several folks feel like I did - that it was the photographer/me as a new user having the issue and not the camera. I now know it's my camera.
Let me clarify that I don't own a 70D, so anything I say about it is from watching what others have said, mainly in this forum. But it is disconcerting to see so much complaint about a camera that's supposed to have an innovative focusing system. One is strongly tempted to suspect that they went overboard in trying to make the camera serve both still photographers and videographers.
That said, I'm not a great fan of the Rebel line, because they lack autofocus microadjustment and I have at least one otherwise excellent Canon lens that would be useless without it. (The 70D does have AFMA, a point in its favor.)
As far as spending the $280 for the repair, I understand why it's a hard call. If I were in your shoes and were convinced that Canon understands the issue and would fix it correctly and permanently, I guess I'd go for it. If you don't think they do, but fell that you need something a cut above the Rebels, this may be a good time to buy a leftover or refurbished 7D. Even though I now have a 5D3, I still use my 7D's a fair amount and have been very happy with them. And the 7D2 has gotten such a favorable reception that's it's almost bound to make more 7D's available at a decent price.

Why there should not be many static methods.

Why a java class should not have many static methods.How is memory managed in case of static methods.
If a Utility class has static methods then we can use methods directly by class name but if we do not make the methods static then we can acess methods using object.How does it make the difference.I know that there remains a single copy of class variables/methods.But i want to know how class memory is managed and garbage collected.

It encourages object oriented thinking.
Each loaded class is represented by a Class object, and associated with that it a block of memory for static fields. As with all such storage this block is, as viewed from code, rather like an array with one, or in the case of double or long values, two slots per field.
Because the class loader maintains a map from FQN to Class this storage is only released if the class loader that loaded it becomes unreachable, which happens only in situations like the un-deployment of a web application or EJB.
Local variables for static methods are allocated in a stack frame, just as with instance methods. There's really no significant difference there.

Do I need to download the software to restore my iphone every time I restore one and should it take 3 hours?
I have an iphone 3G and an iphone 3GS and apple prompts me to download the software for each every time I use the restore function, this takes an (itunes) estimated 3 hours.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's correct - I misunderstood your question - I thought you meant you were downloading mutliple times for the same phone.
Apple provides separate files for each iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad model - with iOS and iCloud, this will improve since you'll only have to download the updates, not the complete file

On average how long should a download and install of Illustrator take?

Just curious. It's taken about 1 hours, and Illustrator is still at 2% on the install. Do you think this is because my account information was hacked? Is someone stealing all of my computer processor's cycles? Or is it because Adobe has their heads...I think I need a beer. Arrogant Bastards Ale anyone?

Speed has nothing to do with Adobe's subscription model.because all the software is downloaded on to your machine ONCE FIRST TIME and you can continue using it without any Internet connection (~~that is why there are cracks available to use CC products!!!!!!!!!!!). The only time Internet is required is when you want to download the security updates and also when you have to activate your product every three months.
Adobe tried to outwit the pirates but it seems they have failed very miserably And these dunce MVPs failed to tell you that you don't require Internet to use Creative Cloud products. You just need to be creative to use Creative Products. No pun intended.

Should it take 3 hours to load leopard?

You might want to start over. Erase and Install 10.5. Then update to 10.5.1. Then Parallels (You need the latest version (3.something I believe) to run on 10.5. If you have installed an earlier version, that might explain part of your problem.) After that you can install Vista.

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg?

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg? I'm trying to figure out the best file format / compression for importing images into iBA. Also, does anyone know how iBA will compress the file? Are the assets attached (like a website) or flattened out? Does anyone know how iBA handles this? Many many thanks to anyone with insight into this.

This question is largely answered by the following thread...

Change colour of an illustrator smart object in Photoshop

Hello, very basic but somehow has me stumped, how do I change the colour of a smart object which is in vectorised form from illustrator dropped into photoshop.
The object is all grey I'd like to change it to all black. Thanks

In photoshop, double click on the vector smart object thumbnail
in the layers panel, which will open the object back in illustrator.
Make your color change in illustrator and then File>Save.
Go back to photshop and the object should be updated with your new color.

Final Cut breaks up video into many separate segments when digitizing --

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's encountered this problem. I'm in the process of digitizing a whole slew of HD video tapes and almost all of them have done so exactly as they should. The only exception is a couple of tapes that are fragmenting into many separate files as they digitize, so instead of one nice big file that can easily be scrolled through in Final Cut, I'm getting three or four dozen different smaller video files, all of which are readable and work but it's obviously not as easy to edit something like that.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how, if possible, to correct it? Is it a video camera setting that was used in the shooting? Or is it some setting in Final Cut that I can change? Or is it merely that the time code on it is corrupt or the tape is somewhat damaged?
Thanks in advance.

When you capture HDV, Final Cut Pro automatically generates a new media file at the point of each scene break. The chosen option in the On timecode break pop-up menu determines how timecode breaks affect the capture; Final Cut Pro disregards the Warn After Capture option to avoid capturing media files that contain breaks in the middle of an MPEG-2 GOP (Group of Pictures).
To determine how scene and timecode breaks are handled when you capture HDV:
Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the General tab.
Choose one of the following options (described below) from the On timecode break pop-up menu:
Make New Clip
This is the default option. Whenever Final Cut Pro detects a scene or timecode break during capture, it finishes writing the current media file to disk and then begins capturing a new media file. It also creates a corresponding clip for each new media file in the Browser. To ensure that all new media files and clips have unique names, it appends a number to the filename of each new media file and clip generated by scene and timecode break detection.
You don't want this checked.
The reference is for FCP 5, but should work in 6

How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

Hello
How many types i can import as file in FLA and what's the differences ??

you wouldn't import a .as file.
you could open it in the flash ide (or any text editor) and edit it.
you could create a fla and assign a document class which flash will compile into your swf.
you could create a library object in a fla, tick export for actionscript and assign a class that flash will compile that class into your swf.
you could instantiate a class object (using the "new" constructor) in a flash movieclip timeline or in another class file and flash will compile that class into your swf.
for Workers to extend a class use something like:
package
import Citizens;
      public class Workers extends Citizens
       protected var baseSalary:Number = 1000;
           public function Workers()
               super();
          public function receivePayment():Number
                return this.baseSalary;

Should I spend many hours in Illustrator puting objects on many separate layers before importing?
