You could create a script in Photoshop so you would need to do the changes only once. Then you could automate the process for the rest of the files. I've found the Photoshop's script and automate-process quite handy for postworking and compositing animations. Actually Flash imports numbered image sequences. You just select the first one of them and Flash asks if you want to import the whole sequence. Getting them to the right place is occasionally the tricky part if you have tens of images. In many cases the images place right where they should but when they don't, activate onion-skinning and make sure every frame is within the skin. Then marquee over the images and align them to the scene or place where you want. PNG is a great format for exporting the images to Flash cause it is lossless and it can contain alpha channel. I have always cut the image with the inverse selection of the alpha mask so I don't know if just the alpha channel is enough. I will send a link to the site i'm working on when it's ready. All the 3D on it is made with Carrara and I've used methods I descibed above to get the images into Flash. -Hannu kulju
