Imorting swf into Animie 9

[Brian Lawton]

Hi All. Is there a tutorial on importing flash (either swf or fla files) into Animie Studio 9. I've experimented with importing 3d objects into Animie and I can do this (although there are no textures). But, as a one time Flash user I have characters that I would like to import into Animie as this could save me time in re-creating a character.

The only path would be Flash (eps or ai) - Illustrator - AS. But it's not very likely that this gives good results because of the different point model of AS. Most times it's much faster to re-build characters in AS from scratch.

You don't need Illustrator -- you can export an .ai file from Flash and import the same file into AS. But, yeah, the points are there in profusion...

Thanks for the quick replies... although the answer is disappointing I understand where you are coming from with 're do the character'. I've got a long way to go yet learning Animie so the practicing of drawing will only help me. Ta very much!.

Importing the character as image would also work, I'm not sure if this would fit with whatever project you're doing though.

The one project where I had to work with Flash characters was awful. Each outline was converted to a shape in AS.
