Is there a way to import my Photoshop CS layers to Flash MX 2004? I just received Studio MX today, and well I'm new to most of flash, and all new to Fireworks. I really would like to stay away from fireworks since I know Photoshop. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

you shouldn't think like that, because Fireworks is a bit of a swiss army knife.

1. open yourfile.psd file in Fireworks > save as yourfile.png
2. open Flash > import yourfile.png to the stage > import as a movie clip and retain layers
3. double click the new movie clip and gasp at the layers before your eyes
