I have an animated Flash file with a lot of images that I had to “convert to bitmap” in order to use Flash to clean up the edges and get rid of white artifacts (due to semi-transparent pixels at the edges when the background was removed). The images were originally scanned and have a lot of line drawing in them so I had to use the maximum settings (very tight corners etc.) to convert them. The quality is excellent.
Problem is, the fla file is nearly 8MB now. With all that vector drawing in there it takes forever just to do a test movie. I wonder if I should screen capture each image - take them into Photoshop, resave them as gifs with a transparent background, and import them back into Flash. Any ideas?
Thanks
Charles
