When you import a Toon Boom Studio animation set into Macromedia®
Flash MX, TBSi:
- Preserves all sound element layers, if you choose to import sound.
(Importing into a movie only.)
- Converts all unique Toon Boom Studio assets into symbols
in the Macromedia® Flash
MX Library. The symbols are organized according to their scene, element
and file name.
- Places all sounds and bitmaps in the root level of the symbol Library.
TBSi also adds the scene name to the name of bitmaps.
- Calculates the position, size and rotation of symbols derived from
elements that are changed over time by pegs. (Importing into a movie
only.)
- Expands all Toon Boom Studio Media elements (links) into
their individual symbols.
- Calculates the value of color transform effects for each frame. You
can see the color value of each symbol in the Properties panel, Color
drop-list.
- Calculates the visual result of clipping effects frame-by-frame. Clipping
and mask layer symbols appear in the Library, as well as unique symbols
for each frame, which represent the cumulative effect of the clipping
and mask layers.
There are a couple of issues you should consider when importing your
animations:
- TBSi does not import the scene background color.
- Macromedia® Flash MX does
not display multiplicative color transform effects with a value greater
than 1. If you want to create a multiplicative effect greater than 1,
you must re-create the effect in Flash.
- Macromedia® Flash MX does
not import clipping effect elements that include other clipping effect
elements.
