Importing Graphics into Flash CS3 Pt.2

Hi this is Bill McPherson for ExpertVillage. In this clip I’m going to be talking about importing graphic layers into Flash. What you want to do is you want to go into ‘File’ – ‘Import’ – ‘Import to Stage’.

I’m going to choose our Photoshop File at Import. Okay as you can see we have our Background here and here is our ‘Background Art’ that we have in Photoshop. Now what you selected, you have different options up here - -uh- we’re gonna bring it in as a ‘Flattened bitmap image’. Now you can choose your ‘Compressions’ settings if you like - Lossy or Lossless. And it’ll also calculate the bitmap’s size for you. And down here we’re gonna choose – ‘Convert layers to: Flash Layers’, not Keyframes. We’ll hit ‘OK’ and it will bring in our graphic. Now this graphic you can do whatever you like with it you could convert it to a symbol or you could just leave it as is.

Now if you go to your ‘Library’ you’ll see that it brought in and still has it in a group. There’s your graphic. And up in your ‘Time line’ also has it as a group – Background and the Background Art layer.

In the next clip I’ll show you how to import graphic layers with styles, inside Flash.

In case you didn’t see the video in part 1 of this series… here it is again.
