Moving Photoshop Layers to Flash CS3

This is Bill Macpherson for Expert Village continuing on with our photoshop document we're going to talk about our homepage that we're going to be importing into flash. Now again you can see in our layers we have a group setup for our homepage we'll expand that, inside there we have many different layers, text layers, graphic layers. Some graphic layers containing effects we'll turn that on so that we can see it, so when we bring this in it's going to bring in a TV you can see that and we're going to be placing a video inside that. Now if you look down here you can see our links containing a text layer and a graphic, now each one of these will become also a button a symbol button inside flash. And for the monitor we know that our video is going to be a certain size so what we did is we resized this TV graphic that we have here to match the video that we're going to be placing inside flash. Now it's always a good idea to resize your graphic inside of photoshop and not inside flash, flash will do a poor job of rendering out your graphic. And it will really look like crap so I really recommend doing it inside of photoshop and then bringing it back inside of flash. In the next clip I'm going to be showing you some of the link pages that we have setup here and some of the other type of symbols that we will be creating inside of flash.
