Re: FLASH: Illustrator vs. Freehand...

[Stephen Britton]

If you're buying it strictly for Flash graphics, go with 

Freehand 8 because you can export in the native swf format. I 

have found that you can create much lighter files this way as 

opposed to importing Illustrator into Flash. I purchased Freehand 8 

a few months ago because I have never liked the  Flash interface 

(You have to admit that it's pretty bizarre to press a "pencil" 

to make a circle) and now I create almost all my Flash graphics 

in Freehand.
