Flash allows you to set preferences to customize the
way you import Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files. You can set options for
specific element layer types you want to import, such as images, text,
paths, shapes, and groups. You can also set compression and quality
publishing options for the imported Photoshop files. The options you set
are applied to all Photoshop files when you import them into Flash.
However, you can change options in the Photoshop import dialog box.
