Adobe Illustrator

The Adobe Illustrator format is ideal for exchanging drawings between Flash and other drawing applications such as FreeHand. This format supports very accurate conversion of curve, line style, and fill information. Flash supports import and export of the Adobe Illustrator 88, 3.0, 5.0, and 6.0 formats. (See Using Adobe Illustrator files.) Flash does not support the Photoshop EPS format or EPS files generated using Print.

Most Windows drawing programs support only Adobe Illustrator 88 or 3 versions. Versions of the Adobe Illustrator format before 5 do not support gradient fills, and only version 6 supports bitmaps.

The Export Adobe Illustrator dialog box contains a single option for choosing the version of the file format the choices are:

Adobe Illustrator 88
Adobe Illustrator 3.0
Adobe Illustrator 5.0
Adobe Illustrator 6.0
