Type of files that can be inported into flash mx

okay, so i am new to flash mx. i am also new to flash in general. i do most of my artwork in illustrator and photoshop. well, i decided to get flash so that i can spice up my webpage. yesterday, i tried to import some of my artwork into flash, but to no avail, i got an error message.

i managed to save some of my .eps files as either jpegs or gifs (after bringing my illustrator documents into photoshop and “saving a copy as” or "save for “web”), but i cannot seem to import the files without a white background. how can i take a basic .eps file and save it in a format that will not ad a whitebackground (or save with a transparent background) and will be the highest of quality?

if i have something wrong with my terminology, or if i lack any in my post, please see past that. again, i am new to this game and just want to get familiar. thanks for your help.

Howdy…

PNG and GIF can have transparent background… and other file formats will contain border if you have transparent background…

Remember that PNG and GIF can only be imported during the authoring time… and cannot be loaded into Flash during the runtime… JPEG file can be loaded during the runtime…

hey thanks, cyanblue. i really appreciate the help. i would take your signature and apply it to this forum, but seeing that i am new to it all…

maybe i will do something boy-scout-ish at lunch.

Oh… That isn’t the forum only… You are welcome to do whatever you want… Thanks… =)
