Hour 3. Importing Graphics into Flash

What You'll Learn in This Hour:

• How to import vector graphics into Flash

• How to import bitmap (raster) graphics

• Ways to avoid imported graphics

• How to optimize and maintain the best quality possible when importing

In the last two hours, you've seen how you can create sophisticated custom graphics very quickly in Flash. Despite how powerful Flash's graphic creation tools are, eventually you might want to import graphics created elsewhere. Two good reasons for this are to use photographic images or to use existing graphics (instead of re-creating them from scratch). You can certainly use these other graphics inside Flash and that's what you're going to learn how to do in this hour.
