Hi there,

Just wondering if anyone has a magic answer of importing a gradient from
Illustrator to Flash. I've created an image using a gradient mesh, that I'd
like to use in Flash, but NOT as a bitmap. I'd like it to stay vector. Anyone
know of a solution?

Thanks,
Bri

Try looking at the options in Flash > Edit > Preferences > AI File Importer.
I'm just a newby at Flash myself but just saw that when I was looking for
something else so someone else may have better suggestions.

AFAIK Flash doesn't support gradient meshes. So the only way to bring it in is
as a bitmap. I played around with the preferences for a project I did awhile
ago and never got anything else. If anybody knows different I would love to
find out.

Yes, I took a look at the preferences and it didn't have any options that would help out, but thanks for the suggestion!
