Trace Bitmap

Hi All
Here we have the Trace Bitmap Tutorial
This great command which ships with Flash 8 Pro, will Convert your Image into Vector Image segments, then you will be able to select parts of the Image and change colors, Delete what parts you dont need, Plus it gives the image a new look which can be quite stunning.
But all depending on the settings you use you can just use the command on an image if you want to create a great effect. You can also select diffeent parts of the image and then turn them into Movie Clips for use in animation or whatever you like.
Ok let's get Flashing cooll;
Start a new flash document
Goto FILE/IMPORT TO LIBRARY and Import your image you want to use
Then drag the Image from the Library onto the Flash stage
then go to MODIFY and choose Trace Bitmap from the popout Menu
like this image below
By changing the settings you can get images like this below
Now every part of the image thats been converted can be selected and as i have said above you can delete what you dont want, select parts and re-color them or turn individual bits of the image as Buttons or Movie Clips..
Try this effect on a nice Landscape Scene Image and turn it into a new Image, change your colors and then you will have created a new work of art...and as it has now been turned into a VECTOR Image it will dramatically reduce the file size as well.
Hope you use and enjoy this simple effect in Flash cooll;
