Select your import options from the Toon Boom Studio
Importer dialog box. You have options in the following areas:
Scenes: lists the scenes in the animation
set you selected.
- Select the scene or scenes you want to import.
To select a range of scenes, press [Shift] and click the start and
end scene. To select multiple scenes, press [Ctrl] and click the scenes
you want.
If you select multiple scenes, you will not be able to select specific
elements or a range frames.
Top
Elements: lists the elements in the scene
you select. To import selected elements only, you must select only one
scene in the Scenes list.
Top
Frames: provides controls for you to select
the frames you want to import.
- Select All to import all frames in the selected scenes and
elements.
- Enter a Start frame and End frame to import a range
of frames in the selected scene.
Top
Soundtracks: provides sound import options.
- Select Import sounds to import sound into Macromedia®
Flash MX.
- Select Apply Sound Edits if you want to include start/stop
time and fades (envelopes) in the sound that you import.
Toon Boom Studio creates a new stereo sound file in the
WAV format that incorporates the effects you added. Sound files are
trimmed so that they fit between the start and end time, and volume
changes are added to the sound file itself. If you de-select this option,
entire sounds will be imported and stop/start time and envelopes will
be ignored.

Output Options: control the creation of layers
and scenes in Macromedia® Flash
MX. These options are ignored when you import content into the Library
because Toon Boom Studio does not create layers or scenes
in the Library.
- Preserve Composition Order: combines all of the elements
in a scene into one layer in Macromedia®
Flash MX. This option will preserve changes in the relative position
of elements that change front-back position during transformations in
Toon Boom Studio Sceneplanning mode.
- Preserve Layers: extracts all of the elements from the scenes
you import into layers in Macromedia®
Flash MX. If you select this option, you will loose changes in
the relative position of elements that change front-back position during
transformations in Toon Boom Studio Sceneplanning
mode.
- Create new scenes: creates new scenes in Macromedia®
Flash MX for imported material. If you do not select this option,
the Importer will add the material you select to the current
scene in Macromedia® Flash
MX.

Global Templates: displays the current
location of global templates.
Templates are reusable animation elements that can be linked to Media
elements in Toon Boom Studio. Global templates are stored
in a central location so that they can be accessed by any animation set.
The current location of the Global Templates folder is identified in
the Global Templates field. However, if the animation set you are
opening links to templates in a different Global Templates folder,
then you must identify that folder so that the contents of the templates
can be imported into your Macromedia®
Flash MX movie.
- Click the Browse button to select the folder where Toon
Boom Studio Global Templates are stored.
