I would like to see the same requests for Adobe Illustrator files, particularly for creating characters. I've been procrastinating for the last hour trying to get myself to save each body part as an SWF and then import them one at a time and in the correct order.
Maybe the layers in the Illustrator file could be labeled so as to match up with the part names of a dumby character, and so importing the AI file would then replace the parts in a dumby character that have the same name. Also, it would be excellent if they were all imported to scale with each other. They would still need to be positioned correctly within CTA, but this would save a tremendous amount of time.
You could even provide an Illustrator file with a demo character in it with all the layers labeled correctly.
There could also be a layer for the complete character, or you could combine all the layers in order to create a "prop character" to align everything to.
Cheers!
