I have produced some vector artwork in illustrator for use inside a Flash Project. When I import the artwork into Flash the importer appears to place all of the element into many nested groups and creates folders in my library. Is there a way to import the graphics from illustrator as flat shapes rather than these nested groups?
Currently I am importing into Flash and having to go into each group and cut the shapes out and paste them into an empty MovieClip which is very time consuming.
Any help would be great,
If you select a bunch of grouped drawing objects then you can use break apart (ctrl+b) to flatten your artwork quickly. You might have to still select some individual things as this can turn out messy sometimes, but it should make your life much easier.
If you’re losing the order of your layers and such, you can select all your graphics, right click and select distribute to layers before breaking everything apart as well.
Hope this helped.
