Flash Tutorial: Import Images in sequence frame

  • Save the images into a folder and name the files in sequence (e.g) img001, img002, img003.....
  • Open Flash and create a new file.
  • Go Files > Import > Import to Stage
  • Select the first image that you want to put into sequence only
  • Then flash window will prompt you a question saying if you want to put all images into sequence
  • Select "yes" and you are done!

(Photoshop) Save Individual Layers to Individual files

Simply open your photoshop (.psd) document and select: File > Script > Export Layers to Files

Insert Photoshop Layers and Illustrator Layers into Sequences in Flash

You can import layered PSD and AI files as either keyframes or layers.
Photoshop has a built-in script that allows you to select a folder or group of images and open them as layers in a new PSD. (File > Scripts > load files into stack...)
It's then a simple matter to import the PSD to the stage as keyframes within a MovieClip.

Best Website to download photos and images

source from: http://www.presentationmagazine.com/top-10-sites-images-presentation-50.htm


0. www.123rf.com

free images with editable watermark


1. istockphoto

One of the best stock photo libraries around for price verses quality. Images from around 60p ($1). We use this site most.

2. gettyimages

Expensive at £50 – £350 per image ($100 – $600) but has access to some of the best professional photography. We use this sparingly for our corporate clients.

3. google image search

Free images, but you need to obtain permission from the copyright holder.

4. flickr creative commons

restricted rights according to image

5. flickr
A very good selection of amateur images. You need to obtain permission from the copyright holder. We usually find that the owners are really chuffed to be asked.

6. wikipedia

restricted rights according to image

7. corbis

again more expensive than flickr but the quality is generally high

8. fotolia

cheap and cheerful with more images than istockphoto, but let down by slow speeds

9. stockxpert

Cheap with good range. Navigation is a bit confusing.

10. shutterstock

Need to buy a lot of credits to download.

ISFP Personality

Career Path:

Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ISFPs generally have the following traits:


  • Keen awareness of their environment

  • Live in the present moment

  • Enjoy a slower pace - they like to take time to savor the present moment

  • Dislike dealing with theory or abstract thought, unless they see a practical application

  • Faithful and loyal to people and ideas which are important to them

  • Individualistic, having no desire to lead or follow

  • Take things seriously, although they frequently appear not to

  • Special bond with children and animals
  • Quiet and reserved, except with people they know extremely well
  • Trusting, sensitive, and kind

  • Service-oriented; they're driven to help others

  • Extremely well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty

  • Likely to be original and unconventional

  • Learn best with hands-on training

  • Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens

  • Need space and freedom to do things their own way

  • Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary



The ISFP is a very special individual who needs to have a career which is more than a job. The middle of the road is not likely to be a place where they will be fulfilled and happy. They need to have a career which is consistent with their strong core of inner values. Since they prefer to live in the current moment, and take the time to savor it, they do not do well with some of the more fast-paced corporate environments. They need a great deal of space and freedom if they are going to function in their natural realm of acute sensory awareness. If they give free reign to their natural abilities, they may find a wonderful artist within themselves. Almost every major artist in the world has been an ISFP. Since the ISFP is so acutely aware of people's feelings and reactions, and is driven by their inner values to help people, the ISFP is also a natural counselor and teacher.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFP:

- Artist
- Musician / Composer
- Designer
