Opening FreeHand Files in Fireworks and Macromedia Flash
As well as being able to open and import PNG and SWF files, FreeHand MX also ships with a FreeHand reader for both Fireworks MX and Macromedia Flash MX. This feature gives you the flexibility of opening native FreeHand files in Fireworks MX and importing FreeHand files into Macromedia Flash MX.

To open a FreeHand file from within Fireworks MX, do the following:
 

1.

In Fireworks MX choose File > Open and select the FreeHand file you wish to insert from the Open dialog box. Clicking the Open button brings up the Vector File Options dialog box. From here you can choose how to open the file:
   
  FreeHand MX importer in Fireworks MX
   

2.

Clicking OK adds the FreeHand artwork to the Fireworks MX workspace.
   
To import FreeHand files into Macromedia Flash MX, do the following:
   

1.

In Macromedia Flash MX choose File > Import and select the FreeHand MX file you wish to import. Clicking the Open button brings up the FreeHand Import dialog box. From here you can specify how to import the FreeHand file:
   
  FreeHand MX importer in Macromedia Flash MX
   

2.

Clicking OK imports the FreeHand artwork and places it on the Macromedia Flash MX stage.
 

As you have seen, the tight integration now available in FreeHand MX gives you the ability to work smoothly with multiple applications. This makes FreeHand MX the best tool for repurposing content for both online and offline content.
