You can export any FreeHand document in Macromedia Flash (SWF) format, for
display in the Flash Player plug-in in a Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator
or Microsoft Internet Explorer, or in a stand-alone Flash Player.
You can export still graphics in SWF format, to preserve vector artwork attributes
while reducing file size. You can choose to export layers, pages, or both in
FreeHand documents as separate frames in a SWF file, or as separate SWF files. If
you export layers as frames, all the layers below the separator bar in the Layers
panel become one background layer in all frames in the SWF file.
If you have added Flash actions to a file, the actions are enabled in the exported SWF.
You can export a FreeHand file in SWF format using the Export command, as
described in the following procedure. You can also export a file in SWF format
using commands in the Controller or the Control menu. For more information,
see "Using the Controller or Control menu with SWF files" on page 384.
