preserving photoshop effects in flash

[dj fuzzline]

i have an image in photoshop i have created, with lots of effects on different layers (mulitply, colour burn, etc.)

now, underneath all that i have a load of images i want to animate about, in flash. i want to transfer the file into flash, without the images to be animated, and then place these on separate layers.

any help would be good...

I don't think I quite understand what you are trying to do. You have a photoshop file with many layers and you want to transfer those layers as they are into Flash???

when using photoshop, you can select different blending options for each layer (multipy etc..), these then affect layers below it.

in this image i am making i have an old image of a tv, i cut out the area of the screen so i could put different images behind, making it look like they are on the tv.

it looked crap.

so, instead, i cut out the area of the screen to a different layer. it's sort of a grey colour, with different highlights/shadows as you would expect. i duplicated this layer so there are four identical ones. these four layers now have blending modes; colour, multiply, overlay, colour burn.

it now looks really good, any image you put behind this lot will look like it is on the tv.

i want to import these layers into flash so that i can animate different images behind it.

that's where i'm stuck.
