| Working with Illustrator AI filesText import options
Flash lets you import text as editable text, vector outlines, and a flattened bitmap. To maintain supported blend modes, AI effects, and transparency of less than 100% between Illustrator and Flash, use import text as a movie clip. Importing text as a movie clip preserves the editability of compatible visual effects. - Editable Text By default, Illustrator text imports as editable Flash text. The appearance of the text can be compromised to maintain the editability of the text.
- Vector Outlines Converts text to vector paths. Use this option to preserve the visual appearance of the text. Some visual effects might be sacrificed—such as unsupported blend modes and filters—but visual attributes such as text on a path are maintained if the text is imported as a movie clip. The text itself is no longer editable, but opacity and
- compatible blend modes maintain their editability.
Note: To preserve the drop shadow, inner glow, outer glow, and Gaussian blur that AI effects applied to text as editable Flash filters, select Create Movie Clip Import to import the text as a movie clip.
- Bitmap Rasterizes the text into a bitmap to preserve the exact appearance of the text as it was in Illustrator. If filters or other effects are applied that are not compatible with Flash, importing the text as a bitmap preserves the visual appearance. Rasterized text is no longer editable.
