Import Illustrator content in Flash Catalyst
Flash Catalyst uses the FXG (.fxg) format files to create rich Internet applications and experiences. You can use content
between Illustrator and Flash Catalyst in three ways:
• Import a .ai file directly in Flash Catalyst.
• Import a .fxg file in Flash Catalyst, which was saved as .fxg in Illustrator.
• Copy any object from Illustrator and paste it into a Flash Catalyst document.
For more information, see Round-trip editing of artwork in Adobe Flash Catalyst documentation.
When you copy and paste content into Flash Catalyst, certain objects and their attributes may not be compatible with
the FXG specification. You can specify settings to manually control and preserve visual appearance, editability, or
both.
To paste an Illustrator object in Flash Catalyst:
1 Select and copy the object from an open Adobe Illustrator CS5 file.
2 Paste the object in an open Flash Catalyst file.
3 In the Illustrator Import Options dialog box, specify the correct options as stated in step 4 of “Save an Illustrator
file in FXG format” on page 403.
