I have been given some Adobe Illustrator files for a project I am working on. Not being familiar with AI, I assume you can copy and paste directly from AI into flash? Are there any do's and dont's I should be aware of?
View 1 RepliesI have a Adobe illustrator file which contains all design elements of my projects. I am trying to import that file into flash, i am not able to import properly(design elements are getting disturbed). So i have exported from AI to swf. How can I import this swf (contains all design elements) into my source file (Flash file) .This swf I tried to import into flash but design elements are not coming properly.
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble exporting a movie from within flash player into a .eps for importing into Illustrator. I cannot use the native scene items for export within Flash CS3, since the content is dynamically generated when the movie is played, and would need to save the outcome. I am working in Master Suite CS3, so dont want to do anything that involves exporting into Corel or other suites.
View 1 RepliesI've checked on the web, but I can't find an article/explanation on how to import vector graphics from illustrator into Flash.If this isn't possible, how do you go about dynamically importing it (not in the swf)?
View 1 RepliesI've created the artwork for my first Flash site as a .ai file, separated into layers that represent each page of the site. I imported the .ai file into Flash - all the layers looked separate in the import dialog box. However, when the file imported to stage, the timeline only contains each page, not the layers within - and I can't twirl open the layers on the timeline. So there are ony four layers on the timeline. In the library, each layer is separated out. Am I supposed to do something else to give each indiviual layer it's own timeline? When I imported the file, I choose to import to 'Flash Layers'
View 4 RepliesI have a simple rectangle with a 3D-bevel effect built in Illustrator that I need to export as an FXG file for use in Flash.When I export from Illustrator to an FXG format, it creates bitmaps and embeds those in the FXG file.if i import directly into Flash CS5 there are transparent gaps (and the symbols created are very complex), and it warns me that the objects aren't compatible with flash and they should be converted to bitmaps firstIs there a way to export the object to an FXG file and keep it in a vector format?if not, and this may be an Illustrator question, is there a way to create the same kind of effect so that I can get an end FXG object that will work in Flash?
View 1 RepliesI'm using the CS5 version of Flash Pro and Illustrator on a Window box running XP serv. Pk 3.These are the AI Import Preferences:I'm trying to import some text, grayscale with suitable stroke and drop shadow, from a finished Board in Illustrator. I've made PNG's, to allow for a transparent background, at both 300 and 600 ppi. I know these are large, but it doesn't matter too much in this movie. It worked well in the Color version.
When I bring them into Flash there is a distinct difference in the quality of each, of course, but both are jagged when transforming them down to the size needed. The ones at 600ppi are better but there is still a visual distortion due to the jaggedness.

View 8 RepliesI was curious if there is a way to import Illustrator files seamlessly into flash. My project in Illustrator has a lot of effects like drop shadows
here is what the file looks like: [URL]
so as you can see it is pretty complex. I want to import as much as I can in vector so that it saves on load time since i already built it in vectors. is it possible to import most of it in vector then just rastor the stuff that might not translate like gaussian blur etc?
At work we've been having a particularly irritating issue with svaing flash files in CS5.After making some changes to a flash file, and trying to save it, the flash file simply doesn't commit the changesand keeps the earlier version.We believe we've isolated the issue to importing from illustrator (CS5).It seems if you copy any rasterized images, or vectors with effects on them (such as drop shadows, glows etc)saving starts to have some issues, the saving itself seems to work fine, but reopening the files with often result withflash being reverted to a pervious saved version.I'm not sure what is the exact cause of the issue, but I do think it's certainly linked to illustrator importing.Has anyone else had issues with saving, and it rolling back to previous saves, and is there any way to avoid/fix this issue?
View 5 RepliesI've been running Flash CS4 (on a mac) for a few weeks now without any major issues. But the last few times I have attempted to import to the stage from Illustrator CS4, Flash freezes up. It allows me to select the file, gives the appearance of loading then the stage remains blank. Menus pull down but all options are grayed out. How to remedy this?
View 1 RepliesI've been using Flash for a couple of years now... I use it mostly for designing fashion graphics (!!!). I know that Illustrator is excellent for creating artwork, I export Flash files as AI ones, but encounter numerous errors while opening such files in Illustrator. I think the problem is with the Color settings. Flash uses RGB, and CMYK is Illustrator's default settings. When I try to export a graphic symbol (with layers, groups of objects and simple shapes) from Flash Professional as an AI file, it always exports as Illustrator 6.0 version (wonder why)...
Then I try to open this file in Illustrator CS2 and always get a "BG" error message which is similar to this one:
Can't open illustration. The illustration doesn't have the correct number of operands for an operator.
Offending operator: "Bg"
Contex:
Bb
0000 Bh
1.0.0.000819.20.....etc. (lots of figures)...Bg
So after getting such a message and pressing "OK" there are 2 possible results:
1. The program (Illustrator CS2) opens a blank artboard (stage) with absolutely NO objects or symbols on it.
2. The program opens an incomplete graphic on the artboard (stage) with many missing objects and shapes (say, if I exported a graphic with 2 layers, the top layer will be missing).
Unfortunately, these are the most common results....Though a few days ago I hkept several AI files open and tried to export an AI file made in Flash. To my greatest surprise Illustrator could open the file with absolutely everything I exported from Flash! Except for Bitmap fills, of course....But everything else was just perfect! I was amazed no end! What settings should I have in order to be able to open AI files exported from Flash? If I got it once, it means it is possible to open such files... I have to use Illustrator more often now, and I need my artwork to be covered to AI files without significant modifications or corrections... Is it doable?
I created a very complex Illustrator file and imported it into Flash. ALL of the text objects were:
1. invisible!, and
2. moved to the top left corner for the document!
I have designed some thing within adobe illustrator(vector images), and my project im doing for myself is being able to add these vector images in, and be able to modify them, colours, add stuff to them and so on. I've seen things done on the net before with these used, but can't seem to find any tutorials regarding this.
View 1 RepliesI work in Adobe Flash cs3 and as2. First I have flv file no1 it contains buttons, animations, imported sounds and fonts, lot of layers, preloader and its all mixed on stage (its a kind of meny for a web page). Now Im working on flv no2 in which all the elements contained in flv no1 are represented as a small picture (button) which should call (make it visable like zooming that object) some mc that contains all the elements from flv no1 and working as they do in flv no1. how to pack all the elements in flv no1 in a form of movie clip and import it to flv no2 and preserve all the functionality.
View 1 RepliesSo I was wondering does it cost extra memory when I import vector art stuff from Illustrator (CS5) to Flash (CS5) rather than making the shapes in Flash? Maybe Illustrator sends some meta data as well when importing so it may use more memory.

I have done simply 3D animation in Flash CS5 with AS3 (letters horizontal spin).
I wanted to include that simple spin.swf into the Flash 8 AS2 project. P.S. the project is completed in Flash 8 AS2, a year ago, so I just want to update it.
When I call the swf or import it the swf is empty and there is no animation.
i've created swf and some of the pictures had blur filter applied to them. Checked swf and all was perfect.
The problem starts when I'm importing that swf into another .fla project. Everything is ok except the blur is gone and pictures are they were before applying the filter.
I couldn't believe and double and triple checked everything and it doesn't make any sense to me. Does anyone have any idea why the heck is that?

View 1 RepliesIm trying to implement a mini browser in adobe air. The browser should work in the same ways as a mobile phone browser, i.e. fit the width of the website to a certain width(specified within the html component) and leave the height to be scrollable. I have managed to do a mini browser by using the scaleX,scaleY properties of the mx:HTML component however these make the websites look unreadable. I have also tried setting the css3 zoom property, and that works fine, but it only zooms out certain elements, therefore messing up the site layout. My question is: Is there a way to make a mini web browser which shows the full content of the website?
