Use the Bitmap format to export Flash drawings into programs that accept bitmapped images.
The Bitmap Export options dialog box contains the following options:
Dimensions Sets the size of the exported bitmap image specified in pixels. Flash ensures that the size you specify always has the same aspect ratio as your original image.
Resolution Sets the resolution of the exported bitmap image in dots per inch (dpi) and Flash automatically calculates width and height based on the size of your drawing. The Match Screen button sets resolution to match your monitor. Use Resolution as an alternative to Dimensions.
Include Sets the size of the exported bitmap image according to the option you choose. If you choose Minimum Image Area from the Include pop-up menu, the dimensions of the bitmap are just large enough to enclose all elements in the frame; if you choose Full Document Size, the dimensions match those specified in the Movie Properties dialog box, (accessed by choosing Modify > Movie). Use Include as an alternative to Dimensions.
Note: When exporting a sequence of bitmaps, the dimensions always match the movie size.
Color Depth Specifies the bit depth of the image. Many Windows applications do not yet support the newer 32-bit depth for bitmapped images. If you have problems using this format, simply use the older 24-bit format.
Smooth Turns Flash anti-aliasing on and off in the exported bitmap. Smoothing produces a higher quality bitmapped image. However, a halo of gray pixels may appear around an image placed on a colored background. Export without smoothing if a halo appears.
