Place artwork in Flash

Flash lets you import artwork in various file formats either directly to the stage, or to the library.

Do one of the following:
- To import a file directly into the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import To Stage.
- To import a file into the library for the current Flash document, select File > Import > Import To Library. (To use a library item in a document, drag it onto the Stage.
Select a file format from the Files Of Type (Windows) or Show (Macintosh) pop-up menu.
Navigate to the desired file and select it. If an imported file has multiple layers, Flash might create new layers (depending on the import file type). Any new layers appear in the Timeline.
Click Open.
If the name of the file you are importing ends with a number, and additional sequentially numbered files are in the same folder, do one of the following:
- To import all the sequential files, click Yes.
- To import only the specified file, click No.
  
  The following are examples of filenames that can be used as a sequence:
  
  Frame001.gif, Frame002.gif, Frame003.gif
  
  Bird 1, Bird 2, Bird 3
  
  Walk-001.ai, Walk-002.ai, Walk-003.ai
