Question

I remember exporting an animated psd file from photoshop into a compiled flash file (swf) awhile back. But in CS5 I cannot find this feature. Was it available earlier only (through ImageReady)? How can I do this now?

Thank you

    There is a few ways you can do this.  First of all I'm assuming you know that the Image Ready Animation features are all in the Window  -> Animation tab.  From there, you can choose File -> Export -> Render Video... and choose either an actual video file, which could then be made into an .FLV for flash,  or export as a JPG/GIF Sequence which could be imported to the Flash timeline.

    Hope this helps!

    EDIT: Just noticed you were wanting it exported as a compiled .swf.  Sorry, I believe that was only with Fireworks that you could do that... i think FLV is your best bet for filesize now anyway.
