hi i do have the flashmx bible but wasnt able to find my answer.

to export ai files to flash you need to go to file/export/.swf

that works fine exept when i have applied an effect or filter to the image. something like a drop shadow. that does not roll over into flash as a swf.

anyone know how i can take my ai files that have filters applied to it, into flash????:D

not sure if it´s possible,
flash is a vector based program. a shadow for example is not a vector.
If you just need it for bg reasons, copy it into photoshop and import as a bmp, but it wont be changeable anymore.

hey that makes sense, i never thought of the shadow as a raster image but come to think of it, you are right.

that gives me a lot to go on, thank you cobo.

the good old copy and paste works fine too... (you might have to optimaze your image a bit in flash afterwards)
just letting you know...
