Aral Balkan&#8217;s great <a href=\"http:\/\/aralbalkan.com\/728\">coverage of the keynote<\/a> sums up the demo nicely:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the new features is importing Photoshop PSD files. Import -&gt; Import to stage. There is precise control over every layer. [Mike] chooses a PSD file and you can see all the layers, layer groups, layer comps and you can make choices about each layer separately. The options include \u201cMake text editable\u201d (so that text imported from PSD files is editable in Flash). He selects a Folder. And asks everything in that folder to be made into a MovieClip and he gives it an instance name and sets its registration point (the crowd loves it &#8211; claps!).  They\u2019re also supporting layer modes \u2014 drop shadows, blurs, etc. \u2014 and converting them to the Flash format.  [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tink.ws\/blog\/sneak-peeks-into-flash-9-blaze\/\" \/>Via<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mike also noted that Flash plans to replace its vintage JPEG compression code with the library used by ImageReady\/Save for Web.  Good stuff is afoot at the Cirle A!<br \/>\nBy the way, if you&#8217;re importing PSDs into Flash today, you might want to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalmediadesigner.com\/articles\/viewarticle.jsp?id=63215\">this video tip<\/a> from Myke Ninness.
