save out as swf.
also make sure you expand everything, and if you use gradients flash will more than likely turn them into image files.

also copy and paste works relatively well at times...

If you're not using Flash 8, be careful about strokes. You will get useless error messages when you publish. You can just ignore those messages. It's a Flash bug.
You can get your simpler gradients into Flash from Illustrator, but not if there are too many colors in them. Flash allows less gradient colors per shape.

i'd help you out by takin a look at it for you but i am fucking swamped today. sorry.
just make sure to expand everything, don't use outlines, and try not to use gradients. make sure you don't use any effects in illustrator. make sure you set highest quality when you save out as swf. good luck

I find that if I save it out as an older version of Illy it works well. Save the file as v8 EPS files as a last resort. Always seems to work for me when nothing else does.
