However the trace method, whilst acceptable, creates vector images that are often twice the size of the original bitmap, which of course defeats the object of creating a vector in the first place. I wanted to create a vector fot 2 reasons. 1: To reduce the file size over a bitmap version 2: To animate the image in Flash. Trying to grab parts of a traced image which you desire to animate becomes very hit & miss etc, so I prefer just to draw it in the first place.
