Importing a sequence of photos

#1 05-16-2008, 06:13 AM

Hi, I am sure this is a newbie problem, but I am a newbie. How can i import
over 700 photos into the stage, automatically creating a new frame for each
photo so they play in sequence. I need this for a stop frame animation project.
I have done some research and apparantly flash does this automatically if I
open a new doc, new keyframe, highlight it, file > import > import to stage,
then select my photo sequence, which is numbered 1 - 734. It is then supposed
to recognise the sequence and do it all for me.
Not only is it not doing this it is also resizing my photos.

Help!!

If your sequence is properly numbered then when you import the first image
Flash will say something like ' sequence detected - should I import the
sequence or just this image?' If it's resizing anything on import then it's
probably because the images are not 72dpi.

I have tried most things, Renaming the photos 1 - 700 odd, resizing them,
adding them in blocks of 10. Everything I can think of. Is there an option
hidden away in some submenu where I have to tell it to import photos that
appear to be in a sequence in a special way. because at the moment its driving
me around the bend. Is it even an option in Flash CS3?
