Hey all,
Ok, I have a couple vector illo's i did in Illustrator CS that I would like to use in a flash project as vectors, not rasters. I can import .ai files to the library, but I can't drag them to the stage. Anyone know how I might use something I made in illustrator in flash? Thanks.

I am certainly no expert on Illus, so I can't assure you that this method is the best practice, but where I work we export .eps files from Illus. and then import those. Some gradients have trouble converting from time to time, but otherwise the process works well.

I usually create a new symbol and drag from illustrator and drop directly into that symbol in flash. Always worked for me. Of course i convert all text to outlines.

Thanks guys. I tried exporting to eps and it didn't want to work for me, but dragging from illustrator into a new flash symbol did. Thanks again.
