STEP 04 importing the CPU INTO FLASH

The 3D sequence is now ready to be imported into Flash. Once the files are incorporated into a symbol, you can further trim file size by breaking apart the vectors and removing any unneeded segments. To bring a 3D sequence into Flash, follow these steps:

1. In Flash, choose Insert > New Symbol (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-F8) to create a new symbol.

   Be sure to give it a meaningful name . I've called mine cpu_rotate.

2. In the Symbol Editor, select File > Import. Select the first .ai file in the wireframe sequence (see (see figure 05:07). Flash recognizes the sequence and gives you the option of automatically importing all similarly named files in separate keyframes. Choose Yes to bring in all the sequential files.
