Try this in photoshop, transform your bitmap in a greyscale image and blur it a just a 

little. Then you transform it again to bitmap. When you trace this bitmap, you need less

vectors. i Always to this with arabic teksts wich i use for one client, for me there

is no other way to do this, unfortunately .And like marc Hoffman is saying streamline 

does a better job in tracing. But try this thechinique first in Flash. Maby it is 

satisfactory for you.
