Re: Illustrator to Flash Palette

[Dorian Nisinson]

It might be less expensive in the long run to use Freehand 8 to design

your vectors. You can define the websafe colors in the palette in

Freehand and keep those colors when you export to Flash .swf format from

Freehand. It's quite efficient and saves lots of time and drudgery.
