Oldie but Goodie: Flash Extension for Converting Bitmaps to Symbols

Side project that I’m working on involves hundreds of inventory items each with several images per item as well as several resolutions per image.  As part of an all-encompassing issue of how to optimize image storage/loading/caching within my wittle Flex app (suggestions and comments wildly appreciated), I came across a fairly old (2006ish) but useful extension for batch converting bitmaps in a Flash library to symbols, including some filename manipulations, other options.  If someone has a better solution for this particular task, please, please, let me know about it, but otherwise, this is pretty handy. O.o
