Creating Web graphics with SWF
The Macromedia
®
Flash
™
(SWF) file format is a vector-based graphics file format for the
creation of scalable, compact graphics for the Web. Since the file format is vector-based,
the artwork maintains its image quality at different resolutions and is ideal for the creation
of animation frames. In Illustrator, you can create individual animation frames on layers
and then export the image layers into individual frames for use on a Web site. You can also
define graphic elements called symbols in your Illustrator file. When exported, each
symbol is defined only once in the SWF file; therefore, using symbols can greatly reduce
the size of a animation. (See “
Working with symbols” on page 71.)
You can save artwork in SWF format using the Export command and the Save for Web
command. (See “
Exporting artwork in SWF format” on page 327 and “Optimizing images”
on page 305.) Keep the following in mind when preparing artwork to be saved in SWF
format:
• To create an animated SWF, place each animation frame on a separate Illustrator layer,
and choose the AI Layers to SWF Frames option when you export the artwork.
• Transparency effects such as blending modes and opacity masks are not exported into
the SWF format. If you wish to maintain the appearance of a transparency effect, flatten
the transparency of the art before exporting to SWF format. (See “
Changing the display
of transparent artwork” on page 193.)
• Using the symbol stainer tool and symbol styler tool results in larger SWF files.
• Mesh objects and gradients with more than eight stops are rasterized and will appear
as bitmap-filled shapes. Gradients with fewer than eight stops are exported as
gradients.
