i’ve got a few vector images of fruits and breads that i exported as SWF in Illustrator.

when i imported the bread vector file into Flash, for example, the gradient portions of it becomes a fuzzy bitmap while the solid-fill areas are retained as vectors.

don’t understand why this is happening ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/2881/dd00c593c8ba56af.gif)

i’ve had no prob importing gradient vectors into Flash before, but somehow this lot of gradient vectors are turning into bitmaps instead.

hope someone can help me out!
