Importing Layer Styles into Flash CS3

This is Bill Macpherson for Expert Village now I'm going to show you how to import a graphic layer from photoshop with layer styles. So we're going to go to import, import to stage so we're going to select our photoshop style again. Again from our background group we're going to select our background art but this time we're going to import this image layer as bitmap image with editable layer styles. Now when you do that it will automatically create a movie clip so you can name it if you like, we'll name it art and you can also give it a registration point, hit it in the middle. And of course you can set the compression setting, hit okay, you can see that it brought in our art again it's setup in layers for us with a group. But if you take a look at the library this time now we have a folder called assets it holds our original graphics, but now you can see that we have a movie clip here. So if we double click that you'll see where our graphic is it's now a movie clip. In the next clip I'll show you how to import a text layer into flash.
