Whenever I export an .Ai file from illustrator as an .SWF and Import (Apple R) in Flash MX, it doesnt work all the way. It drops some shapes and mixes up some of my layers. I have tried everything from flattening tranparencys to making it all one layer. But still certain shapes dont come through, and I dont understand why. They arent locked and nothing is preventing them from exporting or importing correctly.

HELP!?!?!
