About importing filters and blends from Fireworks PNG files

When you import Adobe® Fireworks® PNG files, you can retain many of the filters and blending modes applied to objects in Fireworks, and continue to modify those filters and blends using Flash.

Flash only supports modifiable filters and blends for objects imported as text and movie clips. If an effect or blend mode is not supported, Flash rasterizes or ignores it when it is imported. To import a Fireworks PNG file that contains filters or blends that Flash does not support, rasterize the file during the import process. After this operation, you cannot edit the file.
