Sprite Separating for a flash. - Phreeq - 01-18-2009

Not sure if this is the right thread but a friend of mine and I are making a Flash video using sprites, only issue is the sheets are very large, and the only way I know how to do it takes a really long time, and me being lazy, I don't like things that take a while, so I was wondering if anyone knew a faster way to separate sheets than using the slice tool in Photoshop, or if maybe someone would volunteer to help out and separate them for me. Of course I'd give you credit and maybe payment if I can scrounge up some money.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my block paragraph.

Um...copy each sprite individually, and paste it? I don't have flash, but I think that would probably work.

Ok.
First import the sheet into flash.
Make sure that the sheets background is transparent.
Put the sheet onto the workspace and right click, click on break apart.
Then just select the sprites you need.

Does anyone know an easier way? Or atleast faster? Because there's atleast 700 sprites on each sheet. Would anyone be willing to help out?

I'm afraid what Chaofanatic said is pretty much the only option other than manually going through each sprite, converting them to PNG with transparency, and importing them as symbols.
