Importing file formats for vector or bitmap files
Flash can import different vector or bitmap file formats depending on whether QuickTime 4 or later is installed on your system. Using Flash with QuickTime 4 installed is especially useful for collaborative projects in which authors work on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. QuickTime 4 extends support for certain file formats (including PICT, QuickTime Movie, and others) to both platforms.
You can import the following vector or bitmap file formats into Flash 8 or later, regardless of whether QuickTime 4 is installed:
