 If you want vector drawing, then use a vector app like Illustrator or

Freehand. Use Photoshop (and ImageReady and Fireworks) for creating bitmap

images. Really, as posted earlier, bitmaps will look crappy in Flash

(especially if a user scales their browser window or zooms in with the

plugin), and if they HAPPEN to look OK, or you can put up with piexelation,

then you will still have a filesize problem.

You'd have a hard time painting a miniature figurine with the same tools

that you'd use to paint a billboard.
