Hi, **Short version:** Can you import vector images during runtime? (Any format will do) I asked a question regarding .ai files here the other day, I’d like to reformulate the question: Can you somehow import vector graphics, at runtime which will be handled as such? Currently working on a ‘map’-project, and when zooming in on objects, its kind of harsh when they get all edgey on me, note that all objects on the map are loaded dynamicly from a database. Also, there’s a need to be able to insert new graphics without editing the actual flash file. Thanks for any replies. ---

These are the picture formats which can be loaded at runtime in Flash 8, swf, gif, jpeg and png. Note: swf can also contain vector objects. So you could try importing the **ai** into **swf**. And loading the **swf** at run-time. ---

Thanks for the help, I’m supposed I’ll need to use swfs then.
