Hard to say - depends on your needs. More precision means higher

filesizes, usually.



Get used to this workflow:

  Modify --> Trace Bitmap -->


(The settings to play with are:)

    Color Threshold [100]

    Minimum Area [8] pixels

    Curve Fit [Pixels to Smooth]

    Corner Threshold [Many Corners to Few Corners]


For the absolute most precise tracing use Minimum Area of 1 pixel,

Curve fit of Pixels and Corner Threshold to Many corners.


>From there you can use Modify --> Curves --> Optimize


It'll take some experimentation to get it right - but luckily

Flash's multiple undos are great in this context.


For added flexibility - make each screenshot a uniquely named symbol

and you can change them later.


Hope that helps a bit...
