Bringing graphics into Flash : Vector graphic from bitmap

Because Flash is a vector application, it's always best to draw graphics directly in Flash, or create and import graphics from a vector application like Freehand or Illustrator. Importing a vector into Flash results in smoother image resizing and smaller filesizes. Freehand was used to create the Daves logo and the resulting Flash movie, which was only 8k, looks good no matter what size on the screen.
