Quick Tip: FireWorks to Flash in About Ten Seconds

Tom Green on Mar 4th 2010 with 2 comments

Sometimes, Flash just isn’t the right tool for the job at hand. It’s not great at creating textured buttons, for example. Luckily for us Adobe users, Fireworks is – and we can drag an object from Fireworks to Flash in about ten seconds.

This Quick Tip will show you how.

Having been involved with Post Secondary education for over a decade and an active member of the international, national and local New Media Communities, I have jammed a lot of experience into a relatively short time frame. Nine books in seven years, a ton of speaking engagements , Adobe Community Expert, Community MX partner and other activities are a good example of that one. The biggest honor so far has been my being lumped in with a group of 10 influential Flash Designers that Adobe pulled together to celebrate the 10'th anniversary of Flash. I hope you enjoy my contributions to Activetuts+!

    Cool trick,

    but as cool as it may looks, I haven’t used the SimpleButton (class) for ages, since it lacks proper mouseOut animations.

    And fireworks pollutes your flash document library once imported or copied from.
