Creating animations
About Flash graphics
The Flash (SWF) file format is a vector-based graphics file format for scalable, compact graphics for the web.
Because the file format is vector-based, the artwork maintains its image quality at any resolution and is ideal for the
creation of animation frames. In Illustrator, you can create individual animation frames on layers and then export
the image layers into individual frames for use on a website. You
can also define symbols in an Illustrator file to
reduce the size of an animation. When exported, each symbol is defined only once in the SWF file.
You can save artwork as a SWF file by using the Export command or the Save For Web & Devices command. Benefits
of each include:
Export (SWF) command Provides the most control over animation and bitmap compression.
Save For Web & Devices command Provides more control over the mix of SWF and bitmap formats in a sliced layout.
This command offers fewer Image options than the Export (SWF) command, but uses the Export command’s last-
used settings. (See “SWF optimization options (Illustrator)” on page 395.)
Keep the following information in mind when preparing artwork to save as SWF:
• To keep the file size as small as possible when using symbols, apply effects to the symbol in the Symbols panel
rather than to symbol instances in the artwork.
