Hey Guys,

I have received icon library from my client in AI format and he asked me to use this icons in flash.

But the challenge is how should i import this icons in flash that too in vector format. I am following a process which is not really giving me a proper output.

**Process**

1. Export the AI file in swf format
2. Convert the swf to fla using decompiler
3. open the fla to view the icons

Now the challenge is when I follow this process i get a large number of masked layers in flash. For one icon it shows around 80 layers…

Can anyone suggest me how can i solve this problem…
