Hi all,

I imported a map of the world without country outlines from Adobe Illustrator into Flash and im finding I cant fill some countries due to broken paths and Flash is hanging alot.

Is there a way I can easily resolve broken paths within Flash?

Also how can I address Flash hanging - I assume this is because its a complex outline(?)

Thanks in advance
