Chapter 2. Importing and Exporting Artwork

Importing and exporting artwork with Flash may well be one of the least-talked-about features of the application. However, as you'll read in this chapter, Flash can do a lot of quite powerful import and export functions ranging from importing simple vector artwork to exporting complex, interactive images and HTML.

Before you jump into importing any content, you may want to familiarize yourself with what formats are compatible with Flash. One useful reference, available at Macromedia's LiveDocs web site (), provides you with information regarding which formats can be imported into Flash.
