Nucklehed Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Let's say I have some objects created in vector in Illustrator. I have five layers, each with a vector object on them (5 objects).What's the best way to import these five layers and their contents into FLASH to create a movie? What I'm looking for here is the same, super-crisp vector images to go from Illustrator to flash (preferably with no rasterization).Can it be done? What are my options?Thanks, folks!!

Nucklehed Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 I realize vector images can be made in FLASH... but I'd like to import some art colored with the gradient mesh tool in AI without having to convert to bitmap.Can it be done, guys?

Mimika Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 mmh i have not imported any vector based content to it but if there is a file format that the Macromedia flash can handle then I just see to that i save the vector img into that file format. then use import. btw if you want an easyer vector program then illustrator I can suggest Xara X 1.0. its relitivly new on the marked with just a few years on its shoulder and the result of alittle hard work are really nice, better Layout/user friendly, faster drawing, easy useing layors, animating and much morethis is a result of Xara X 1.0 vs Illustrator C2 at the bottomhttp://www.xaraxtreme.org/about/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorex Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I guess Flash should be able to import WMF files, so export/save the original to .wmf and import that in flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairdb Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 If you still need help with this. All you have to do to get a vector image from AI to Flash is export your AI file as a .swf file, then when you import that to flash it will be the same as in AI.

Guest nballon Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 You might also try MediaLab's tool PSD2FLA (http://www.medialab.com/psd2fla/)....it's cheap and very effective PLUS you can have editable .fla files of your layers (once you take them from Illustrator to Photoshop) instead of .swf files....Just a thought!
