Is there a way to export to flash from illustrator CS. I know the export to swf but that doesnt work it exports it in bitmap form and when going from illustrator to freehand it creates a bitmap even with the export to AI 7. Is there a plug in that i can use to directly export to flash, since some of the vector drawings have complex gradients that flash cannot draw if i did it in flash.
Thanks

when you export to swf, in flash do not just open it, use the "import" under the file menu.
try that.

Ya I tried that but it blows out all the gradients an dI tried the option to export layers into flash movie so i can just grab individual parts and it doesnt want to work. or hold the integreity of the gradients to the shapes

flatten yer artwork first. then export to flash. might become a bit heavy though.

if you're doing stuff flash or older versions of illy can't handle, it's converted to bitmaps.
For example, a gradient mesh won't export as vector to swf.
