When i import vector graphics from illustrator into flash they usually change shape. Is there anyway to import Illustartor graphics into flash with out the shape changing?
try using the export to swf option in illustrator or try exporting it as a 5.0 eps image flash has problem handling eps images from illustrator i dont know why if that doesnt work try exporting it as a svg or a windows metafile
thanks chief. That’s just what i was looking for. Everything looks fine now. There’s a few rough edges in some aeas but not enough to make a difference.
glad it worked :beam:
a few tips -
1.make sure the colour sliders in illustrator are rgb (not cmyk) - this ensures that colours remain true.
2.if you have really complex paths in illustrator you are probably better converting them in gifs or jpegs - believe me these can actually be smaller…
3.If your paths are appearing ‘funny’ in flash (not the correct shape /angles / missing bits etc) then try changing the clipboard preferances in illustrator - there are multiple options (experiment with each to find the best results - to do this click/unclick an option in the clipboard preferances and then try copying - pasting into flash, usually you will find one of the options will get your paths into flash in pristine condition! mariofan takes a breath…*
i hope this helps you and anybody else…
Thanks mariofan. This helps me out alot. I’m about to do my first flash website and i want it all to be perfect. I’m definately going to make my complicated paths gifs or png’s (if i need the transparency).
you must be just like me - i like to have everything perfect - down to the point and pixel!!! tell me when you do your site!!!
