Instead of drawing and recreating a bitmap file in Flash, you can use the trace bitmap command in Flash to recreate a bitmap image in vector format. Let's get started !!.

1. Import an image in Flash by opening a Flash document and clicking on File > Import > Import to Stage. Choose the image and click on ok.

2. Select the bitmap image on the stage and click on Modify > Bitmap > Trace Bitmap.

3.Try different valuse to get different trace effects.

4. In the above example, you can see the trace is not very detailed but it makes for a cool effect. The color threshold is 100 and the minimum area is 100 pixels with the curve fit and corner threshold Normal. High values give less color detail. Notice that the different shades are not showing. Also the edges are slighty jagged as we have given normal curve fit and corner threshold.

No lets try out some different values.

As we have reduced the color threshold and minimum area and put very tight curve fit and many corners for the corner threshold, you can see that there is more color and curve detail. You can play around with the values to get different effect and details of the bitmap image.
