Importing .swf files from Illustrator to Flash
 

Alright, so I'm in crunch mode, making my portfolio for my Proseminar and Portfolio class (to graduate on time). It's a Flash file, meant to be viewed on the web.

Anyway, I'm making most of it in Illustrator, then exporting the images as .swf files. then dropping them into Flash. Everything seems ok, can see everything when I'm working in Flash, but when I go to preview the whole shebang... nothing. Apparently my parent .swf file is not recognizing all these other embedded .swf files - I know this has a simple solution, I just don't know what it is. Can anyone help me? Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?

Instead of previewing, have you tried exporting the fla to an swf? I remember when I used to do flash that the preview sometimes didn't do what it was supposed to, but export was fine.

no I haven't, but that's a very good idea.... :)
