man, this can get on my liver. Macromedia would love to have me design everything in Fireworks MX, and export it to Flash MX, or even start with Freehand MX.

why the hell havent they worked out the integration well?
when i ctrl+c and ctrl+v a path shape it adds and subtracts points to its own discretion! even when i use the special integration button to copy my objects it does it less but still adds or subtracts points.

aside from that every object is placed with a movieclip with 20 empty frames, while 1 suffices for the object.
also it doesnt copy the names the layers are given in Flash MX.

anyone had this problem as well?

wat i'm trying to do is get a path (rectangle) to have perfect corners. in Fireworks it will work well, however when you copy it to Flash it will add extra points and muck up the curve :(

well, I started to use Fireworks from around 3 weeks ago, and I found no pb doing that but with export to flash, not with copy and paste
see the MM notes for that

I too have had no problem with Fireworks, having said that a lot of my stuff is going from photoshop > Fireworks (export as SWF) > Flash - cuts the file size massively and never had any computer hitting momments.
