# Importing from Flash

Flash developers can use the Import option (on the File menu) to import a Captivate movie into Flash. To import, developers navigate to and select a Captivate project (RD) file.

Note: The import option is only available in Flash when a Flash project is open.

#### To import a Captivate movie into Flash:

1. Open Flash by double-clicking the Flash icon on the desktop.

2. From the File menu, select Import or Import to Library.

3. From the Files of types drop-down list, select Captivate Project (RD). (Example)

4. Navigate to a file, select the file, and click OK.

The selected Captivate project file (RD) is imported into the Flash project.

5. Now you can begin editing your movie.

6. When you are finished, you must save the movie as a Flash project (FLA file).

Note: The RD file imports into Flash as a movie clip in a new layer. When placed in the new layer, the first screen is blank if the fade-in effect is on.
