What Can Be Imported?

Flash MX 2004 and Flash MX Professional 2004 can import very nearly any bitmap image format, vector formats, sounds, and digital video formats. Bitmap artwork and sound files import without any special considerations; vector and video files have other options to consider when you import them. This chapter covers how to import vector and bitmap artwork, as well as the factors to consider as you import the artwork. Table 12.1 provides a list of the types of files you can import.
