The PSD Import dialog box

A. Layers in the PSD file being imported B. Import options available for the selected layer or object

1. Select File > Import To Stage or Import To Library.

2. Navigate to the Adobe Photoshop PSD file to import, select it, and click OK.

3. (Optional) In the PSD Import dialog box, select layers, groups, and individual objects and choose how to import each item.

4. For Convert Layers To, select one of the following:

Flash Layers All selected layers in the Select Photoshop layers list are placed on their own layer. Each layer is labeled with the name of
the layer in the Photoshop file. The layers in Photoshop are objects on the individual layers. The objects also have the name of the layer in
Photoshop when put into the Library panel.

Keyframes All selected layers in the Select Photoshop layers list are placed in individual keyframes on a new layer. The new layer is named
for the Photoshop file (for example, myfile.psd). The layers in Photoshop become objects on the individual keyframes. The objects also have
the name of the layer in Photoshop when put into the Library panel.

5. For the remaining options, select from the following:

Place Layers At Original Position The contents of the PSD file retain the exact position that they had in Photoshop. For example, if an
object was positioned at X = 100 Y = 50 in Photoshop, it assumes the same coordinates on the Flash Professional Stage.

If this option is not selected, the imported Photoshop layers are centered on the Stage. The items in the PSD file remain relative to each
other when imported; however, all objects are centered as one block in the current view. This feature can be useful if you are zoomed in to
an area of the Stage and are importing a specific object for that area of the Stage. If you imported the object using the original coordinates,
you might not see it imported, because it might be placed outside of the current stage view.

Note: When you import the PSD file to the Flash Professional library, this option is not available.

Set Stage Size To Same Size As Photoshop Canvas The Flash Professional Stage size resizes to the same size as the Photoshop
document size (or active crop area) used to create the PSD file. This option is not selected by default.
Note: When you import the PSD file to the Flash Professional library, this option is not available.

6. Click OK.

Importing PSD files to the Flash library
Importing a PSD file into the library is similar to importing to the Stage. When you import a PSD file into the library, the root folder uses the name
