Best graphic format for use in flash?

What is the best format for graphics being used in flash?

bitmap, jpeg, vector?

 

portable network graphics (png) from my little bit of experiance with flash. it preserves the alpha transparency very well.

 

Yep PNG is the best.

 

vector, small size, crisp look...

in FLASH CS3, you can easily import ai files, and if they contain vector symbols, the file size of the compiled swf will be very small.

 

Thanks for the replys.

Wassim, is there a preferred vector format?

 

Best Vector

AI, EPS, DWG, CAD i guess

 

vector ones are the best. Png is another option if you dont want vector.

 

i would also say vector then PNG, but never JPEG!

 

PNG if the clearest quality over the other formats (except for vector). However, vector will give you the smooth lines when people zoom into your flash image.

 

Yes, there is a preferred format, ai.

FLash CS3 can import ai files preserving layers and gradients/masks as well as glow, drop shadow bevel and other filters.

 

Is Adobe Illustrator the best or only way to create ai format files, or is it now a standard that other programs use as well, for example corel draw?

 

PNG is the best for ur use

 

Use the creation tools in Flash that's why they are there, and they are vector.

 

PNG are great if you need the transperancy. If you don't need it, a medium size jpeg will keep our file size smaller.

go to graphicdesignrx.com if you would like to suggest a tutorial

 

.ai format is the best save layers as frames

 

for flash..it's better if your used AI

Yes, vector is the best format.. as it keeps the swf light and easy/quick to load.
