Hi, I've created a character in Illustrator CS4, and am exporting the body part sprites as swf files. When I import those files into the sprite editor, the majority of them have parts missing, and there are strange artifacts showing up.

If I view the swf files standalone, the files look like they should, so the issue is in how they are being imported into CTA.

Has anyone else ran into this issue and found a solution? Is there a setting that needs to be changed in the swf export settings perhaps?

Notice the dotted line artifacts in the attached picture.

Hi,

I use CS4 with the following output settings

Export As: All Layers to SWF Symbols

Version: Flash Player 9

Compress File: Checked

Curve Quality: 10

If you still have no joy send over a sample and Ill take a look if you want.

Thanks Stuart. You've been a bunch of help.

I had "Export As" set to the default, "AI File to SWF File" rather than "AI Layers to SWF Symbols".

I think that has fixed my issues.

Does anyone know of a way to export a single Illustrator file, with multiple layers where each layer could/would be an individual swf file?  For example, an AI file with 5 layers, in a single export option there'd be 5 individual swf files, anmed the same as the layer?

You can use this script (see attachment). I asked my son and he rewrote an existing script a bit
Unzip and drop it in ...\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Presets\en_US\Scripts\
Then (in AI): File -> Scripts -> Layers to SWFs
Each layer will be saved as separate swf-file with corresponding (layer's) name in a folder were original file is.

Hope it helps

Thanx, I'll give that a try... Hopefully it'll work with CS5 as well..

[EDIT]

Works well in CS5 too... thanx!

Do you know if the script will work in version 15.0.0 of CS5? Because I'm getting some errors, see the attached files.

Thanks for any help,
Will
