FLASH: Optimised Bitmap Tracing & Discreet PAINT*

[DEINUM tMS]

What are the main things to pay attention to while tracing a bitmap?


I draw a feather as a bitmap and tried to trace is in Flash, but the small

bitmap turned out to become a vector image of 180kB. This filesize is way to

big, but I don't know how to optimise this without losing quality. Can

anyone tell me how to optimise this in Flash3 or would it be better to do

this in e.g. Adobe Streamline or are there other good options?


My second question concerns Discreet Paint*. Has anyone worked or

experimented with

this software to create vector images for Flash import?

I read that you're painting with vectors and that you're also able of

creating a movie-like sequence. But is it also possible to save your

sequence as a series of vectorised images. Or will the render engine output

a series of bitmaps?
