Illustrator object import options
Layers manage all the items that make up Illustrator artwork. By default, all items are organized in a single, parent layer. You can import all items
in a given parent layer as a single, flattened bitmap, or, individually select each object and specify import options specific to the type of object it is
(text, path, group, and so on). The AI Importer provides options to select layers in the artwork you are importing and specify individual import
options based on preserving the visual appearance of an object, or its editability in Flash Pro.
Correcting incompatible graphic effects
1. To generate an incompatibilty report, click Incompatibility Report. The incompatibility report lists items in the AI file that are incompatible with
Flash Pro.
2. Select Change Import Settings To Resolve Object Incompatibilities. Many incompatibilities between Illustrator and Flash Pro can be
automatically corrected using the incompatibility report and the import recommendations suggested in the Import options area of the AI
Import dialog box.
Select individual objects
1. Select the object to specify import options for. Illustrator objects that you can select include layers, groups, individual paths, text, and
images.
2. Review the import options available for the type of object you’ve selected in the object options section of the dialog box. Note whether any
incompatibilities are listed and what the recommended correction is to import the object.
3. Select the desired import options, and select another object to specify import options for, or click OK.
(Flash Professional CS6 and earlier versions only) Selecting layers
The Layers panel lists the objects in a document. By default, every Illustrator document contains at least one layer, and each object in a given file
is listed under that layer.
When an item in the Layers panel contains other items, a triangle appears to the left of the item’s name. To show or hide the content, click the
triangle. If no triangle appears, the layer contains no additional items.
note: You can expand or collapse all groups and layers using the AI Importer context menu. Right-click to display the context menu and select
Expand All or Collapse All.
Controls whether items are selected for import or not. If an item is checked, you can select that layer and specify import
options; if Edit is not checked, the layer is dimmed and you cannot specify any import setting for the item in that layer.
