I do know there were problems reported with the LiveMotion beta's SWF

export (symbols, those "layer" thingies, mostly). I haven't downloaded the

1.0's trial version yet. Are you see problems in this SWF import? Could you

functionally describe which structures have problems? Or are you just going

by the beta's export too?


(And I'm assuming that these are problems that you don't see when importing

SWF from Flash, Swish, or other SWF-producing tools, but please advise if

this surmise is inaccurate, thanks in advance.)


(And btw, FreeHand imports multipage PDF and exports SWF... for the

previous message, this would be a possible path, although the result may be

to bulky to seriously consider.)
