Bitmaps
to Vectors
I imported the image using the - File - Import... - command. Then
I clicked the - Modify - Trace Bitmap... command. The 'Trace Bitmap' window opens.
There are four parameters available. They control how closely the new vector graphic
will match the original bitmap image.

Color
Threshold: (1-500) This parameter determines how Flash handles similar pixels.
If the RBG difference between two pixels is less than the color threshold, the
pixels are considered the same color. If you use higher values you decrease the
number of colors. Lower values increase the number of color and the ultimate file
size. The examples below have different 'Color Threshold' values and keep default
settings for the rest.
