What is the best way to export eps files (or any other mac type for that matter) from Illustrator for use in Flash MX?
Strange things seem to happen when I export an SWF from Illustrator and then import to Flash using “Import to Stage”.
The vectors are basically ruined.

Unfortunately PNGs are not vectors. I’m trying to find a consistent way to transfer vectors from Illustrator 10 to Flash MX
