When making images for Flash I start off in Illustrator and then cut and past into Flash, this makes the colors go a bit funny though...

Well I dont use the copy and paste, I ony use the export to swf, and works just fine. what I do is I try to use always the rgb or web safe colors in the Illustrator file before I do the export, and then everything runs fine! I dont use that file as the final file. In the flash I open a new empty file, I import the .swf from Illustrator and then I copy and paste them in my main fla file! Seams a little complicated, but works just fine. But i am talking about vector stuff here. Pixel stuff I use the photoshop! I dont save pixel stuff with Ilustrator!
I hope it helps you

I think i was having problems because there was lots of text in the imported file....

Dont cut and paste from Illustrator save as eps or ai and try that. Then if they are still too heavy break them apart in Flash, that sometimes makes it lighter and takes away all the unneccessary under layers.
If its still really heavy you will either need to remove some of the details in Illustrator or just make it the image into bitmap.
Its strange, you shouldnt have any problems with the export as swf from illustrator, colours have always been ok for me. Maybe you got it saved as CMYK or something weird.

You should manage the text apart of the rest!! And dont forget to use libaries.

is this how every one does it ?
maybe i should us freehand ?
maybe flash could have some drawing tools worth looking at !!
cheers for the input..
