and your EasyButton.SWF
you'd type in the windows
Run command line
C:\UDK\~\UDKGame\Binaries\Win64>UDKGame.exe gfximport UI\Mouse.SWF\EasyButton.SWF and all the subfolders involved would be parsed into UDK, to a package saved as C:\UDK\~\UDKGame\Content\Gfx\UI. Naturally this is like an express service.
