Importing and exporting color palettes
To import and export both RGB colors and gradients between Flash files, you use Flash Color
Set files (CLR files). You can import and export RGB color palettes using Color Table files
(ACT files) that can be used with Macromedia Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop. You can also
import color palettes, but not gradients, from GIF files. You cannot import or export
gradients from ACT files.
