Illustrator Vs Flash: Adding Points To A Simple Object.
I've drawn some really simple objects in illustrator, they all have only three points.
When Importing to flash the number of points is changing all over the place and making animating of these objects ****ing ridiculous!!
Sometimes they flip, sometimes they morph awfully.. even if I use shape hints.
Who has ideas?
Illustrator
I was trying to import an image from Illustrator 10 into Flash MX, but everytime I tried I got an error message saying "One or more files were not imported because their were problems reading them". I tried importing my images as .ai and .eps as well as changing the settings around and trying different files. Nothing seemed to work. Any ideas? Thanks.
Mx And Illustrator 9
okay, every time I create text in illustrator 9, convert it to path and paste it into mx, half my text gets lost.
These are simple paths with solid colors. Nothing fancy or complicated. I don't remember flash 5 having these problems, what's up?
Do I need to upgrade to illustrator 10 or has macromedia finally said "F" you to adobe products. Do we all have to use Freehand and fireworks now to get anything done??
pissed..

Illustrator 10
Having problems importing, copy pasting, any version of an illustrator file into MX.
I've saved the file out several times as older versions of illustrator thinking that would work, it has in the past.
I do get an import. It's just a buggy one. Not really acceptable.
Anyone know a workaround?

Way Better Than Illustrator
Does anyone agree with me that the Pen Tool in Flash is so much better than the one in Illustrator? I love the preview it gives you to let you know where the line is going - I wish they'd bring this great feature to Illustrator

Illustrator To Flash....
Hi...this is my first time using this thing...hopefully someone in the virtual world can help, cause one in my world can...
My question:
I have used the CALLIGRAPHIC brush in illustrator, and would like to import these lines to Flash...however, Flash seems to convert these lines and make them thin and wimpy looking. In illustrator, I have tried "expanding appearances", so it converts the lines to shapes, and I've also tried to "flatten transparency", but none of these two methods work. I can't re-draw what i've done using the paintbrush in Flash, because it's a complex illustration.
When i'm in Illustrator, I export layers as .swf files...but this calligraphic line is a big problem. Any suggestions? All I want is what I've done in illustrator to look the same in Flash!!! I thought these two vector programs were more compatible...can anyone help?
thanks,

Illustrator Nightmare
I know this is probably very simple but it is driving me crazy...I am getting an error message when I try importing my illustrator eps file. It is just a simple shape. I am using Illustrator 10 but I have tried saving in all different versions. Also, when I past the element into Flash it is not smooth. The edges are jagged. Please, if someone has a simple solution or something I am missing let me know.

Flash For Illustrator
i love Flash's interface and know how to sue all the drawing tools. But when i go to use something like photosop its way to confusing. So is there anyway to use flash to make layouts only? Can i copy and paste into some other porgram or can I save it as a jpeg?
If no, than whats a good program to make layouts in? I do't like photshop at all, I can't even draw lines and make boxes and stuff. What do you reccomend?
Illustrator To Flash - Before & After Pic
I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to do this. I want the exact vector objects in illustrator to be in flash. I don't much care about the colors.. I can always change those. Look what happens when I try to do it though. Top is illustrator .. bottom is flash
Notice how the "smoke" is messed up and so are the lines.
I would appreciate any help on this
Thank you,

Importing Illustrator Eps
Hi...Longtime reader, first time poster.
I have been toying with Flash for the past few years, but have never really taken a full dive. So this may be an easy question to answer.
When I attempt to import Illustrator eps's, I am told, the file could not be read.
So I go to illustrator to do a copy/paste outlined fonts/text into my Flash document. When it pastes, it is distorted, all the fonts are messed up. It doesn't matter what size the font is, how blocky, or simple, the result of the pasted graphic is not workable.
Is there a specific setting that I am missing in the preferences, or is this a problem for pasting between different applications? How many have had similar problems...
All your help is appreciated

Importing From Illustrator
okay so this might be a pretty basic question, but im going crazy cause i just cant figure this out.
How do i effectively import Illustrator files into flash.
What ive done so far is export them out of illustrator as swf files, which tends to work sometimes, but the typical result is usually missing letters or goofed up fonts, or just general missing components.
If anyone could please enlighten me on why this happens or what i might be doing wrong i would really appreciate it.
Im on a mac, using flash mx, and illustrator 10.

SOME Q's - Illustrator , Scripting Etc
just a simple Q but i've been unable to find the answer on a few forums.
I have some files/graphics I've done in Illustrator, imported them into the Flash library.. every time I edit the file in Illustrator I wanted to know if there is a fast way to update them in flash without having to re-import them?
I know there is an 'update' thing but that is grayed out all the time and I don't know why. I haven't renamed or moved the original files..
any ideas?
thanks.
----
also another Q. I want to make a dress up doll thing (putting clothes on her).. would the clothes be 'movie clips' or 'button' symbols?
i just wanted to know what kind of script i need, or what things i need to do so i have all the clothes and once the user clicks on one of them, it appears on the dolls body... thanks.
Illustrator To Flash
i am working on designing a website mostly using flash cause as you all know it makes the difference between a good website and a bad webstie. but my company logo that i created is in a illustrator file and i need to import it into my flash presentation and everytime i do it it changes stuff and makes it look horrible.
Importing Illustrator?
So when I import Illustrator stuff, it just gives me flat images, not the layers. Also, if I try to bring in PSD or AI files that are shapes such as circles or people or whatever, i don't get transparent backgrounds.
My designer boss said his other programmer can simply import the AI file and it keeps all the original layers and such. Why can't I do this?
Importing Illustrator Eps
I'm trying to import an Illustrator eps logo but it looks crappy. I tried saving it as a png, a jpeg and a giff but they all look rasterized.
[F8] Importing Illustrator Doc's
Hello Everyone:
I have files that I originally created in Illustrator CS2, that I am importing into Flash 8. My problem is, they don't look clear as vector should once imported into Flash. I've tried saving as pdf and png - it looked the same. Sometimes when I import an AI file in and leave it at 100%, it's fine - but if I try to reduce the image inside Flash, it becomes very jagged looking. As an AI user, I know that this should not happen with vector images. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions.
Thanks so much,
Kiawah
Flash And Illustrator
I've been trying to get the graphics department to export their Illustrator files [CS3] in a format that I can import into Flash. They use a lot of gradients and they come into Flash like sh*#! All chunky. They had older Freehand files that they exported as swfs worked good.
Any ideas? Please I need to resolve this issue.

[MX] Using Illustrator Cs2 With Flash
HI there -I didn't get any responce whn I post this in the flash mx forum so thought I'd give U guys a try - if this is the wrong section please couldja lemme kno where 2 stick it.
Bassically I've been having a few issues importing from cs2 to flash mx - the files never seem 2 look the same (either random bits are missing or it just won't clip to the art board set by illustrator). I've tried importing as ai and swf files (swf are slightly better but by no means perfect.
Also flash interperates every element of the images as a seperate symbol which makes it clunky and cumbersome to make changes and the really complex pictures jut jam the program up til it moves at an agonising pace.
I've got a feeling that its something I need to amend in illustrator before exporting the files - any ideas guys???
