ok, whats the best way to import bitmaps into flash? i never have any luck with that trace bitmap stuff. i mean it comes in and looks great, but the results are always 128K+ anyone have any tips on this? i have been messing around with decreasing the number of colors in the image down a bunch before importing, etc. but it seems like i always just end up using the bitmap as a guide layer, and tracing over top of it by hand. i came up with the idea of possibly doing an edge detect on the image and seeing if i could save it as a dxf and import just the paths into flash, but i haven't had a chance to try it yet.
