When you import a Fireworks PNG file into Flash, you can choose from a variety of import
options. You can import all layers and objects as a library symbol, or you can import all
content onto a single, new layer. With vector and text objects, you can maintain their
editability completely, or you can choose to maintain appearance only when objects have
effects applied or other properties that aren't available in Flash. Or you can forgo all editability
and choose to import the Fireworks PNG file as a single, flattened bitmap image.
