I have a colored gradient bitmap image in "heat" mode over a neutral
black/gray image with white highlights, the latter of which I want to stand
out. In FW it looks great... Can I export these to FL and expect the blending
modes to remain intact?

I'm not sure about CS3, but as of Flash 8, these FW blend modes were
supported:

Darken
Multiply
Lighten
Screen
Overlay
Hard light
Add
Subtract
Difference
Invert
Erase

I didn't hear much about the blend modes when CS3 came out, so chances
are they are still the same. You can quickly check by Opening Flash and
seeing if the mode you want is there. Generally, if the blend modes
exists, it should work. Another option is to create a flattened copy of
the blended image.

Thanks, Jim; incidentally, I'm always on the lookout for a recent release of a book entirely devoted to FW. Any idea when one might appear?

I only wish I could say . . . but I will keep you all posted.
