Import text from Fireworks into Flash
When you import text from Fireworks into Flash 8 or later, the text is imported with the default anti-alias setting of
the current document.
If you import the PNG file as a flattened image, you can start Fireworks from Flash and edit the original PNG file
(with vector data).
When you import multiple PNG files in a batch, you select import settings one time. Flash uses the same settings for
all files in the batch.
Note: To edit bitmap images in Flash convert the bitmap images to vector artwork or break apart the bitmap images.
