any third party program to take a flash layer (with vector art) and convert as vector artwork for illustrator? - or some way internally?

Won’t you share your method with us?
Did you cut and paste? Or perhaps Export\>ai or swf?

yea export to ai
surprised at how well it worked too
I simply love the way flash converts photo’s to vector art, I cannot run adobe streamline anymore due to osx compatiblity, and all the 3rd party stuff seemed to never do what I needed.
anyways Export \> Ai worked great, though it will not retain fonts proper
