How To: Import a PNG sequence
So I have chosen to use a png sequence rather than mess with the slower flvs. Many wonder how I get the png sequence into flash without having to select every file to upload. Well, thankfully Flash Pro has a very easy way to do so. Follow the steps below to learn how.
Step 1
Go to file, Import, and then click Import to Stage. Make sure that it is import to stage. It allows you to import the sequence easier.
Step 2
Now just browse to the place where you have your sequence. Make sure the files have the same prefix in the name and then an increasing numeric follower like seen in the image. Click on the first image in the sequence and click open.
Step 3
Now you will receive this message if you did it right. Click yes, and Flash will import the sequence for you in order and put it in your library!
Step 4
You can compare your current progress with this image of the final solution.

What naming scheme must be used for flash to determine that it is part of a sequence?
Just anything with the same name ending with different numbers starting from 1? or does the numbers have to be 5 digits long (00001)? Does the underscore need to be there? etc.
Thanks.
Hey Jonathan,
There is a certain naming scheme that Flash looks for. All you need to do is make sure that the files you want to import all begin with the same string of letters. The underscore is optional. Then after that you can have a numeric sequence, which as far as I am aware of can be any length.
