Illustrator for Flash and Director

[cwebmedia]

This forum thread discusses the SitePoint article 'Illustrator for Flash and Director' by Lawrence Carriere.

"If you're more comfortable using Illustrator than Flash, then this tutorial's for you! Lawrence shows, step-by-step, how to draw vector graphics in Illustrator, build them in Flash, and export them for use in Director!"

The article was very good. The only thing that you did not mention is that it is not applicable to Illustrator Version 8 and less (not sure about 9). The same thing can be accomplished in V8 by saving the AI file as a version 3.0 .ai file and then importing it into Flash.

I did not know that. Thanks for pointing that out pelowe. When I was first introduced to Adobe Illustrator, it was in version 9 so anything below that I do not know.

Thanks for the heads up!
