Using imported artwork

A key advantage of Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional is that you can import artwork created in other applications, and use those assets in your flash documents. You can import vector graphics and bitmap images in a variety of file formats, making Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional a versatile media arts tool.

When you import a bitmap, you can apply compression and anti-aliasing, place the bitmap directly in an Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional document, use the bitmap as a fill, edit the bitmap in an external editor, break the bitmap apart into pixels and edit it in Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional, or convert the bitmap to vector artwork.
