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 Adobe Photoshop, PICT,
QuickTime Movie, and others) to both platforms.
You can import the following vector or bitmap file formats into Flash 8, regardless of whether
QuickTime 4 is installed:
File type
Adobe Illustrator (version 10 or
earlier; see
"Importing Adobe
Illustrator, EPS, or PDF files"

AutoCAD DXF (see
AutoCAD DXF files" on page
Bitmap
Enhanced Windows Metafile
FreeHand
FutureSplash Player
GIF and animated GIF

is installed:
