Flash allows you to set preferences to customize the way you import
Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files. You can set options for specific element
layer types you want to import, such as images, text, paths, shapes,
and groups. You can also set compression and quality publishing
options for the imported Photoshop files. The options you set are
applied to all Photoshop files when you import them into Flash.
However, you can change options in the Photoshop import dialog box.

Chapter 6
Flash includes support for importing Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files and
Adobe Illustrator files created in versions 6 through 10. When these
files are imported, there are a number of options you can choose from.
Before you import Photoshop and Illustrator files, you need to set

import options in the Preferences dialog box. For Illustrator files, you
can also specify whether you want to show an import dialog box where
you can set import settings for specific parts of an Illustrator file. The
options you set are applied to all Illustrator and Photoshop files when
you import them into Flash. However, you can change options in the
import dialog box. Some options in the Import dialog box are context-
sensitive; that is, they only appear if they are relevant to the imported
file. The import options are similar between Illustrator and Photoshop;
when they differ, the options are noted.

Chapter 6
You can import bitmaps of several file types directly into Flash to use in
your Flash movie. It is important to remember that even though you can
edit and resize bitmaps in Flash, the original bitmap will always be

embedded in the exported Flash file. If file size is an issue, it is best to
bring your bitmapped art in at the size you want to export it. For exam-
ple, if your image is going to be 160 pixels by 160 pixels in the final
movie, it is best to import it at this size and not resize it up or down in
Flash. You will end up with higher-quality images and smaller files if you
do this. You can import files using the Import To Stage or Import To
Library methods. The Import To Stage method stores the bitmap in the
Library and places a copy on the Stage, while the Import To Library
method stores the bitmap in the Library and doesn't place a copy on
the Stage.
Importing Bitmaps
Import a Bitmap to the Stage
Click the File menu, point to
Import, and then click Import
To Stage.
Click the Show popup (Mac) or
Files Of Types list arrow (Win),
and then select the format of the
file you want to import.
Navigate to the drive or folder
where the file is located.
Select the file you want to import.
Click Import (Mac) or Open (Win).

Did You Know?
You may not be able to see the images
you've imported to the Stage at certain
magnification levels.
Flash aligns the
top left-hand corner of the image at the
0,0 coordinate. If you are zoomed in,
the image may have appeared outside
the viewable area. Use the Hand tool
to navigate around, zoom out, or press
Shift+
A
+W (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+W
(Win) to toggle the Work Area off. This
sets the zoom level to 100% and hides
the Work Area.
Scaling Image Before Importing
Scaling bitmaps reduces the quality of the image, so it’s best to
import an image into Flash at the size you want it to be. If you need
to scale an image in Flash, it’s a good idea to import the image at a
slightly larger size, so when you scale it down, loss of quality is mini-
mized.
