Placing artwork into Flash
Using Fireworks effects and blend modes in Flash
Flash 8 and later provides support for Fireworks filters, blend modes, and text. When you import Fireworks PNG files, you can retain many of the filters and blend modes applied to objects in Fireworks, and continue to modify those filters and blends using Flash 8 or later versions.
Flash only supports modifiable filters and blends for objects imported as text and movie clips. If an effect or blend mode is not supported, Flash 8 and later versions rasterizes or ignores it when it is imported.
To import a Fireworks PNG file that contains filters or blends that Flash does not support, rasterize the file during the import process. After this operation, you cannot edit the file.
