(Flash Professional CS6 and earlier versions only) Group import options
Groups are collections of graphic objects that are treated as a single unit. Grouping lets you move or transform a number of objects without
affecting their attributes or relative positions. For example, you might group the objects in a logo design so that you can move and scale the logo
as one unit. Groups can also be nested. That is, they can be grouped in other objects or groups to form larger groups.
Groups appear as
item’s name. Click the triangle to show or hide the contents of the group. If no triangle appears, the item contains no additional items.
Rasterizes the group into a bitmap to preserve the appearance of the objects as they appeared in Illustrator. After a group is
converted to a bitmap, the objects in it cannot be selected or renamed.
Encapsulates all objects in the group into a single movie clip.

Enabled by default when Paste Using AI File Importer Preferences is selected. Specifies that layers in the AI file be converted to
