About importing Fireworks symbols in Flash

When importing Fireworks symbols in Flash, consider the following issues:

  • If a symbol uses 9-slice scaling, the four slice guides are imported and preserved in Flash. The 9-slice scaling is not preserved for animations, however. The imported symbols are saved as symbols in the Flash library.

  • Soft edits that have been applied to rich symbols are lost. The master copy of the symbol is imported.

  • Rich graphic symbols are stored as a PNG file and a JSF file. Only the PNG file is imported. If the symbol is made up of a number of paths, the paths are combined into one symbol.

  • To achieve the full functionality of rich symbols in Flash, replace it with the Flash version of the symbol.
