So I did this animation in after effects, from text and plain simple shapes from illustrator.
I heard that you can export to flash as vector, I tried exporting to swf, but it ends up exporting pngs,
is there a way I get actual vector from the export?
anyone know how this is done?
thanks in advance

here is a vector anim. I made for you last night, it is 150 by 150 pixels big and as you can see it scales perfectly.

ok go to file export, then select swf from your menu, now a couple of things you need to be aware of you can't make everything a vector for example a photograph. However shapes created in AE and things created in illustrator work fine, see my mad box was created within AE.
in your export menu you will see rasterise or ignore features not supported by flash this simply means it will not translate some effects as flash isn't able to process it's data so it has to draw iit out like a quicktime movie would be, for example transfer modes and particle heavy / warping and distortions are tricky to translate.
go for jpg quailty to be 100% and then hit export.
Unless your copy isn't legit then it will all work perfectly well.
