Default Changing images in your Flash movie...

In process of your web design template customization maybe you will need to insert your company logo or images in flash animated header. Here you'll find quick guide of how to do that.

Open your source FLA file in Macromedia Flash editor using instructions from Open your Fla File.

Now press "F11" to launch the symbols library. To make the search for needed image symbols easier sort them by kind by pressing the "kind" tab at the top of symbols list. You will see that all of the bitmap symbols are grouped together at the top of symbols library.


Fig 9.8 Bitmap Symbols in Library

Look through these symbols to find the symbol you want to substitute. You can see the symbol preview at the top of symbols library. When you have found the necessary bitmap symbol double click on the icon at the left of it to see the symbol properties window.


Fig 9.9 Bitmap Properties

You will see the image preview and options there. Check the image size. It looks like 193 x 214 pixels at 32 bits per pixel. To make your image fit original effects and animation the best way, your image must be same size as the image you are replacing.

You can resize or crop your image using Adobe Photoshop. Open your image in it using File/Open... from the top menu. To resize or crop choose Image/Image Size... or Image/Canvas Size... accordingly. Then save image using File/Save As..., for using in flash chose one of the following image formats: JPEG, GIF or PNG.

Press the Import button and browse to location of your image file.

At the bitmap symbols properties window you can change image quality. Make it lower to reduce published file size.
