Adobe Illustrator
The Adobe Illustrator format is ideal for exchanging drawings between Flash and other drawing
applications such as Macromedia FreeHand. This format supports accurate conversion of curve,
line style, and fill information. Flash supports importing and exporting Adobe Illustrator 88, 3, 5,
6, and 8 through 10 formats. (See
Flash does not support the Photoshop EPS format or EPS files generated using the Print
command.
Versions of the Adobe Illustrator format before 5 do not support gradient fills, and only version 6
supports bitmaps.
The Export Adobe Illustrator dialog box lets you select the Adobe Illustrator version—88, 3.0,
5.0, or 6.0.
You can use the Macromedia Flashwriter plug-in to export files in SWF format from Adobe
Illustrator 8. Adobe Illustrator versions 9 and 10 have built-in support for SWF export, so the
Macromedia Flashwriter plug-in is not needed.
Animated GIF, GIF Sequence, and GIF Image
The Animated GIF, GIF Sequence, and GIF Image option lets you export files in the GIF format.
The settings are the same as those available on the GIF tab in the Publish Settings dialog box,
with the following exceptions:
Resolution
is set in dots per inch (dpi). You can enter a resolution or click Match Screen to use
the screen resolution.
Include
lets you select to export the minimum image area or specify the full document size.
Colors lets you set the number of colors that can be used to create the exported image—black-
and-white; 4-, 6-, 16-, 32-, 64-, 128-, or 256-color; or Standard Color (the standard 216-color,
browser-safe palette).
You can also select to interlace, smooth, make transparent, or dither solid colors. For information
on these options, see
