a long shot
- blackspade0
yes, still shit
it makes no sense at all
Also tried converting to fh 8. fh 9, fhMX, and importing.
no difference! :(

did you try importing the freehand file into flash? just as a freehand file?
- elms0
heh
install illu then...
- blackspade0
no no no nooooo
I will be sent charts to update monthly, i cant be rebuilding these charts each time, they are waaaay to much work
the whole idea with this was to make the updating part at my end easier, it was all looking so good up until this point
thanks for the help so far tho, i appreciate it
- elms0
rebuild the text part in flash? :(
- blackspade0
nah the text is shit when i look in flash, so its not a browser issue, its an importing issue
royal pain in my ass, i was expecting it to import fine in flash
- elms0
err.... now its ok... weird, i was refreshing couple of times and nothing happened, then closed the window and opened it again and again nothing, but on third time it was ok.

might be safari, i see the same text prob at http://www.collab.nl
- blackspade0
wha!?
oh no' this is going from bad to worse
im looking in FF on OSx and I can see it fine ?
could i get you to try it another browser ?
- elms0
eh, its blank screen... ?? must be some ff bug
- johndiggity0
dynamic text setting? sorry, i'm still learning flash.
- blackspade0
it sooo has to be Vector
if you look at my link above, its zoomable, so needs to retain quality at all sizes
- elms0
if its too detailed...
i dont know..... you cant use gif's/png's?
- blackspade0
yes it can
if you read above
it yields even WORSE results
terrible quality
i think its because my chart is so detailed perhaps ??
any ideas?
this seems really stoopid, i thought flash MX was supposed to work fantastically with freehand now
- johndiggity0
can't freehand create swf files natively?
- blackspade0
yes there are options when exporting but none like that
so looks like i should install illustrator
- elms0
dont have freehand, but do you have some kind of export options, like in illu there are preserve appearance or preserve editabililty?
- blackspade0
ok exporting as a swf from Freehand
is even worsei havent got illustrator installed, do u think it would handle it better ?
i can install it if need be
argghhhhhhhhhhh!
- blackspade0
thanks all
warheroes, yes its all paths as I stated above.
wil try the export as flash idea tho!
yes Rasko, i tried plain ol copy and paste with the same results.
cheers fellas :)
