Is there a way to convert a jpeg to vector art in Fireworks like you can in Flash. If not is there a way to do it in flash and export it in Fireworks to save the vector art as a jpeg?

Fireworks doesn't have the ability to convert bitmaps to vectors. From
Flash you can export it as an Illustrator file and open that in
Fireworks. Then you can still resize real vector shapes in Fireworks and
export to any bitmap format it supports from there.

Both FreeHand and Illustrator have better bitmap tracing tools than
Flash though, especially Illustrator CS2 with Live Trace.

HTH!

There's no way to convert a JPEG to vectors in Fireworks. To export an
image in JPEG format from Flash, choose File > Export > Export image. In
the Export Image dialog box, enter a name for the image and choose JPEG
for 'Save as Type.'

You would use the Trace Tool in Freehand.
