Flash does not inport any 3D formats.

You can only import a sequence of 2D projections.


Perferred Vector Formats (Best at the top).


SWF  - obviously the best choice.

AI   - gradients canbe a problem

DXF  - you canonlt import 2D versions of this format and there will be

no fills

WMF  - made of of staight line segments only


Raster (bitmap) formats are generally (not always) less desireable.

If you will be supplying your page at s fixed size, with no scaling or

zooming bitmaps are fine forFlash even 3D renderings.
