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:

Working with Illustrator and Flash
You can move Illustrator artwork into the Flash editing environment or directly into Flash Player. You can copy and
paste artwork, save files in SWF format, or export artwork directly to Flash. In addition, Illustrator provides support
for Flash dynamic text and movie clip symbols.
You can also use Device Central to see how Illustrator artwork will appear in Flash Player on different handheld
devices.
