  • 34) Convert Bitmaps to Vector Art in a Flash
    This tutorial shows you how to convert a bitmap into a clean vector graphic using Flash's trace bitmap feature. If you want to create a vector graphic that looks like a bitmap, you might want to use the original bitmap because the file sizes are typically smaller and more detailed. On the other hand, if you want to create a graphic that can be edited, animated or if you want to create a unique graphic the 'Trace Bitmap' command works well and the process is easy.
