Hello everyone,  
Just doing some initial testing, I’m noticing that the import of illustrator files into flash still doesn’t get the text right unless you convert it to vector outlines.

I can’t tell if this is only for certain fonts or not, but it seems to lose all formatting, and often isn’t aligned correctly at all.  
Anyone else experiencing similar problems? Have any tips?

Everything else works so well and text is such a huge deal…it’s sort of a bummer.
