| Working with Illustrator AI filesCompatibility between Flash and Illustrator
Certain visual attributes can either not be accurately imported, or, after they are imported, lose their ability to be further edited in the Flash authoring environment. The AI Importer provides you with several options to import and place artwork to best maintain its visual appearance and editability. However, certain visual attributes cannot be preserved. Use the following guidelines to improve the appearance of AI files imported into Flash: - Flash supports only the RGB color space, and not the CMYK color space, which is common in printing. Flash can convert CMYK images to RGB, however, colors are better preserved if you convert the colors to RGB in Illustrator.
- To preserve the drop shadow, inner glow, outer glow, and Gaussian blur AI effects as editable Flash filters, Flash imports the objects to which they are applied as a Flash movie clip. If you attempt to import an object with these attributes as something other than a movie clip, Flash displays an incompatibility alert, and recommends importing the object as a movie clip.
