I’ve just recently began my excursions with flash and swift to create a company website for myself…i’m catching on real quick, but…
```
I need to import my layers (drawings) into swift and when i change the file into one swift accepts it won't load it........i've read about the file needing to be in a vector format but, i'm afraid i'm missing something in flash that i need to do........i'm just a beginner......is there something i don't know?......perhaps something dealing with making the drawings symbols or something?..........getting some help would be greatly appreciated.....
```

I’ve never gone that way myself. I always do effects in swish and then import those effects into flash… Can’t help you unless you’re willing to go that direction.

export your drwaings/graphics as an illustrator file…but keep them simple as the can be kb hogs…your best bet is to make what you want in Swift…
Cheerio,
