Re: FLASH: Importing from Illustrator?

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Phil,

When you say Flash Writer keeps the layers intact did you export with

layers as separate files checked? Because when I export without that

checked I got everything grouped separately but all items were on the

same layer. The only way I kept my layer info was to save as Illustrator

7 format and import that .ai file into Flash.
