Use Fireworks to edit graphics in Flash

With launch-and-edit integration, you can use Fireworks to change a graphic that you previously imported into Flash, even if the graphic wasn't exported from Fireworks.

Note: Fireworks-native PNG files imported into Flash are an exception; the PNG file must have been imported as a flattened bitmap image.

If the graphic was exported from Fireworks, and you saved the original PNG file, you can edit the PNG file in Fireworks from inside Flash. When you return to Flash, both the PNG file and the graphic in Flash are updated.

  1. In Flash, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the graphic file in the Document Library panel.

  2. Select Edit With Fireworks from the pop-up menu.

    Note: If Edit with Fireworks does not appear in the pop-up menu, choose Edit With and locate your Fireworks application.

  3. Click Yes in the Find Source box to locate the original PNG file for your Fireworks graphic, and click Open.

  4. Edit the image, and click Done when finished.

    Fireworks exports a new graphic file to Flash and saves the original PNG file.
