USING FLASH CS4 PROFESSIONAL
Using imported artwork
Supported file formats for vector or bitmap files
Flash can import different vector or bitmap file formats depending on whether QuickTime 4 or later is installed on
your system. Using Flash with QuickTime 4 installed is especially useful for collaborative projects in which authors
work on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. QuickTime 4 extends support for certain file formats (including
PICT, QuickTime Movie, and others) to both platforms.
You can import the following vector or bitmap file formats into Flash 8 or later, regardless of whether QuickTime 4 is
installed:
You can import the following bitmap file formats into Flash only if QuickTime 4 or later is installed:
Import FreeHand MX files
You can import FreeHand files in version 7 or later directly into Flash. FreeHand is a good choice for creating vector
graphics for import into Flash, because you can preserve FreeHand layers, text blocks, library symbols, and pages, and
choose a page range to import. If the imported FreeHand file is in CMYK color mode, Flash converts the file to RGB.
