Pepie,


I've done the whole Bryce to FLash combo in the past...and the best way to

make it work for me was to keep the images static as in a background.

Hand tracing is the next possibility, but being familiar with the bryce

textures..virtually impossible.

When i produced a bryce image to be used in Flash it was for background usage.

MM has not been able to create an effecient way to import

3d/textures/bitmaps in general to be imported into flash..................yet.


So my advise to you is:


If using Bryce:


1) Do not animate the image....unless you want to see it do the funky chicken.

2) If you must animate it..hand trace,remove the gradients..add your own

thru flash...and delete the original bitmap.

3)Use only for background or static images.

4) Auto Tracing,if thats what you are doing won't work for Bryce imgs, to

many details involved.you have to literally trace it yourself.


Cant think of anything else...


HTH,


Carlos
