When importing an image into Flash, the filesize is reported incorrectly

I saved an image from Photoshop using "Save for Web" and managed to bring the filesize down to 56.5kb. When I import this image into Flash and click on the properties, the reported "Original" filesize is 1884.6kb which is a heck of a lot more. How can I import the image and retain the filesize without having to compress the image further causing a horrible quality image?

right click one of your bitmaps, click properties and tick "allow smoothing".  retest.

  • Colour changes when importing Illustrator graphics into Flash CS3

    Hi there!
    I'm creating a Flash site, and all the graphics are imported
    from Illustrator.
    Also, in the Illustrator file, there are some Phtoshop
    graphics with shadow effects on it.
    The problem is, that when I import the .ai into Flash, a
    pretty strong colour change occurs: everything becomes lighter. And
    the shadow, wich is black in Photoshop, turns white in Flash!
    Is there a way to solve this problem? I searched the net, and
    some people say it's an OSX thing, wich is pretty strange, because
    Mac is an obvious choice for loads of designers.
    I've attached an image preview.
    Preview
    Thanks in advance!
    Alex

    Thanks for the anwsers!
    However, the weird thing is, when I pick one of the photoshop
    graphics, asign the profile to it, and import it into Flash, the
    colors look fairly good. BUT when I import the complete Illustrator
    file with alle the graphics in it, I still get the color shift. I
    can now put all the graphics in the flash file, one at a time, but
    I think thats not the most easy way to do it..

  • Color Shift When Importing JPG Sequence into Flash CS6

    I am importing a jpg sequence into flash that has been exported from After Effects CS6. No matter what I try, the color will shift when the image imports into flash. The sequence originally started out as a vector graphic in Illustrator (color profile set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1) and then imported into After Effects for an animation that I couldn't quite achive in Flash. The color profile in After Effects is also sRGB IEC61966-2.1 with the "Match Legacy" checkbox checked. I export it out of After Effects as a JPG Sequence and then import into Flash. No matter what I try, the bitmap images' color will shift (become dull) when I import. Even when I open the images in Windows Photo Gallery, they look fine - it's only when I import into Flash.  I've also tried PNG and .PSD Sequence with the same result. I've searched around, but still haven't found a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am in the midst of trying to figure out the opposite : Flash to After Effects.  I am betting that this is an issue of 'color profile' attached to the images and the gamma settings in that profile.  RGBA is only part of the story - color profile is all the rest of it.  Eye Dropper doesn't tell you the color profile attached to the image.

  • Importing Photoshop image into Flash without discoloration

    Hello, I just put together a banner image in photoshop that I would like to import into Flash and put a small navigation menu at the bottom but whenever I use the import to stage feature I am getting a large amount of discoloration in the image.  I've tried saving it as a .tif and .png but both came out looking poor.  Attached is an image to show what I mean.  Anyone have a suggestion on this?

    >>One more thing when you created this graphic did you make sure to use web color only, rmember the web views I think only 246 colors (somenthing like that) so anything outside of gamut will go to the next best thing.<<
    That isn't true at all. The web safe color palette had nothing to do with the limitation of the web and everything to do with the limitation of color monitors at the time it was proposed. At the time the color palette was proposed many displays could only display a maximum of 256 colors on screen simultaneously. The operating systems reserved about 20 colors each for their own use and that left 216 available color slots. Anything about that number that tried to display on screen at the same time would caouse color banding (what gifs images do to photos).
    But that was along time ago.

  • Can't import an Image into flash

  • Issue when importing ai files into Flash

    Okay I have an Adobe Illustrator CS4 file that I am trying to import into Flash CS4.  The file is fine in illustrator, it's just when it comes into Flash that it has problems.  Namely, it doesn't render the shape correctly even though the subobject profile path is correct.  See attachment.  We're really zoomed in here, the shape itself isn't much larger than 10px square.
    I've deduced that it is a scaling issue, but don't know how to get around it other than redrawing the shape again in flash.  It's not like flash has an issue with tiny elements, it seems to have an issue with elements drawn at a larger scale in ai and then scaled down, be it in ai directly or in flash after import.  There is a threshold in which it no longer wants to draw the shapes correctly anymore, as if the curve handles are being ignored and it's merely trying to draw a straight line.  Again this same file if brought in much larger renders properly, it's only when it has been scaled down previously that it becomes confused.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem?

    Are you running the latest version of Flash CS4 (I believe it is 10.0.2)?  I don't have CS4, but I think I recall that something similar came up some months ago and the solution was to install the latest update for Flash CS4.

  • Importing multiple images into flash movie as a movie

    I have about 200 images that have been rendered for me frame
    by frame, how do I put this into flash as a movie? I don't want to
    do this manually as it would be a complete waste of my time.
    Much thanks in advance!

    you can import them as an image sequence, then create a movie
    clip out of it. File-->import-->import to stage.. Then select
    all the images, and it something should pop up asking if you are
    trying to create an image sequence, select yes.

  • Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

    I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

    Welcome to the forums!
    It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
    1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
    You need to be.
    2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
    If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
    3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
    Ap2
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
    Ap3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
    Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

  • Importing external images into Flash using ActionScript 3.0

    Hey Guys!
    What i'm trying to do it import a few (say four) images from
    an external
    folder at random and display them in a row. The folder would
    contain up to a
    hundred pictures, sequentially named (ie. 1.jpg, 2.jpg,
    3.jpg, 4.jpg,
    etc...)
    any suggestions on how I could do this??
    thanks,
    -Chris

    thanks for getting me started! Is there a way to get the four
    images
    directly out of an external folder, though?
    thanks,

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Importing Images into Flash CS4 from Photoshop 7

    Hello,
    I've created an image in flash, basically the image is a ring which has then been divided into 3 equal segments, each segment exists on its own seperate layer with and has a transparent background. I want to make ach of these segments into a button on flash, so I've imported them across and converted them into buttons, however the problem I have is that when it gets imported into flash, it creates a box around each segment which is what flash sees as the full button, this means when you roll over a blank piece of the segment flash recognises it as rolling over the button. Is this just an inherent problem from importing from photoshop into flash or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    Sean

    Check the settings:
    Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...
    And then load the *.psd file without the background.
    And certainly there is no change in flash...

  • Importing images into Flash

    I am importing images into Flash only to discover that the images (1280 x 720) are not centered on the stage.  Most of the time the images are off centre by a few pixel widths or in some cases by an inch or more.   I can't get them to centre unless I clear the stage and import a few times.
    Is there a way to import and have the images framed perfectly within the stage.
    I'm currently using Flash CS5.5
    Thank you.

    You can also click the two blue boxes icon under the Timeline and then drag select the whole timeline and that will let you select all your frames at once. then just position them all where you want them at the same time. I attached a screen cap of the area I'm talking about. It's right after the two white boxes.

  • Color inconsistency importing images into flash cs6 - cs4

    After much experimenting I can't seem to solve this issue - imported images get tinted in an undesirable/inconsistent way when imported and published within flash.
    images look consistent traveling between photoshop / image preview / illustrator / etc.
    they also look fine on co-workers versions of flash -

  • When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    When I drag photos into iMovie, the image quality is degraded.  Can I somehow prevent the degradation?

    Hi
    A very common origin to jumpy picture is
    • Recorded material in one frame rate e.g. 29.97fps (NTSC) and iDVD set to do a 25fps (PAL) project - OR the other way around.
    It delivers a DVD but a very bad one.
    I do convert all my material to same fps as the DVD I want to do (e.g. PAL) - before any editing etc.
    I use JES_Deinterlacer or Compressor to do this and the result is so much better.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and makes a Great job - Professional alternatives comes at an astronomical cost and the quality is not hardly no better.
    Yours Bengt W
