If you have Adobe Creative Suite CS2, you could set up an automation script in Illustrator to convert them all using LiveTrace and exporting them as a SWF.
If you only have flash, there might be a way to write a JSFL script that will convert them automatically. May not be any faster, but at least you could walk away while its working. Just as a side note, if you are converting them to vector format to make the size of the swfs smaller, play around with your color thresholds and minimum pixal areas to make sure quality vs size is acceptable. I've found on some very detailed drawings, the vector actually uses more memory and slows the frame rate down if it has to move. Although, runtime bitmap cache can help that. Hope that helps!

A new project I'm working on requires LOTS of high quality cartoon like illustrations (think Sin City)and i'd like to convert all of the bitmaps to high quality flash vector format. Whats the easiest (re:quickest) way to do this? Manually using autotrace in flash would be much too slow!
