Ok,


Matinee's site 3D logos where painstakingly traced over using Flash3's tools (line

and gradient fill) frame by frame. Flash's "BMP trace" function was _not_ used.

The icon was created in Max and imported as BMP sequence. The images where _not_

imported as .ai(vector). Flash does not except .ia from Max. The only .ai excepted

from FLash is from Adobe Illustrator.
