To set Clipboard preferences, select from the following options:
•
For Bitmaps (Windows only), select options for Color Depth and Resolution to specify these
parameters for bitmaps copied to the Clipboard. Select Smooth to apply anti-aliasing. Enter a
value in the Size Limit text box to specify the amount of RAM that is used when placing a
bitmap image on the Clipboard. Increase this value when working with large or high-
resolution bitmap images. If your computer has limited memory, select None.
•
For Gradients (Windows only), select an option to specify the quality of gradient fills placed in
the Windows Metafile. Choosing a higher quality increases the time required to copy artwork.
Use this setting to specify gradient quality when pasting items to a location outside of Flash.
When you are pasting within Flash, the full gradient quality of the copied data is preserved
regardless of the Gradients on Clipboard setting.
•
For PICT Settings (Macintosh only), for Type, select Objects to preserve data copied to the
Clipboard as vector artwork, or select one of the bitmap formats to convert the copied artwork
to a bitmap. Enter a value for Resolution. Select Include PostScript to include PostScript data.
For Gradients, select an option to specify gradient quality in the PICT. Choosing a higher
quality increases the time required to copy artwork. Use the Gradients setting to specify
gradient quality when pasting items to a location outside of Flash. When you are pasting
within Flash, the full gradient quality of the copied data is preserved regardless of the Gradient
setting.
•
For FreeHand Text, select Maintain Text as Blocks to keep text editable in a pasted
FreeHand file.
