Hi. I'm fairly new to Animate and animation.

My tutorial book says if I edit an image in PS or AI after I have placed it, I can update the graphic without having to import again. I can't find out how. Can anyone advise please?

Import and export

There is literally an "Update" button in the Animate bitmap properties window.

Hi Clay

Thanks for answer.

That seems to only work if I import and click box IMPORT AS SINGLE BITMAP IMAGE.

Yes, that's how you update bitmaps.

I hope you're not trying to do this with vectors, because obviously that would be a terrible idea. Animate can't use vector data from other programs as-is; it has to be converted as best it can to its own vector format, and then the user can freely manipulate those vectors inside Animate. Trying to stomp on that entire process with a simplistic Update button would be a nightmare.
